- Execute daily production schedules and priorities
- Perform quality checks on all finished work
- Maintain and troubleshoot production equipment
- Manage materials, inventory, and ordering
- Keep the shop clean, organized, and efficient
- Communicate job status and production needs clearly
- Support and guide 1–2 production team members
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on production or print experience
- Strong attention to detail and pride in quality work
Experience maintaining production equipment
- Ability to manage multiple jobs and deadlines
- Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
- Clear communication and strong organizational skills

High level of ownership and autonomy
Small, focused production team
Opportunity to shape and grow a local operation
Work with a company that values craftsmanship, innovation, and collaboration
