Job description

Galadari Printing and Publishing (Khaleej Times) requires highly focused Printing Press Technicians to operate massive industrial web-offset printers, monitor ink density, and ensure flawless daily newspaper production.

Daily Production Tasks:

• Mount huge multi-ton paper rolls onto the feeding deck safely using industrial overhead hoists before the midnight printing cycle begins.
• Calibrate the CMYK color levels on the digital control panel to guarantee that corporate advertising photographs appear perfectly vibrant in print.
• Clear mechanical paper jams rapidly to avoid stopping the fast-moving production line during critical overnight hours.
• Scrub thick residual ink off the rubber blankets and metal cylinders during the scheduled machine maintenance window.

Rules for Selection:

• Mechanical Precision: Adjusting heavy steel machine parts safely requires excellent hand-eye coordination and prior industrial factory experience.
• Night Shift Stamina: The role demands complete alertness during late-night hours because all major national news printing happens after midnight.
• Chemical Handling: Workers must be completely comfortable wearing safety masks while handling strong industrial cleaning solvents and raw printing ink.

What the Press Offers:

• Basic Income: 3,000 to 4,500 AED fixed monthly salary, supplemented by mandatory night-shift premiums.
• Corporate Support: Secure employment with the oldest English daily newspaper in the UAE, complete protective gear, and a highly stable industrial working environment.
