Job description

Digital Production Operator

PCL Graphics | Markham, Ontario

PCL Graphics is looking for a reliable, organized Digital Production Operator to support a growing area of our manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on production role operating a group of automated digital fabrication machines. The equipment is straightforward to operate, and extensive technical experience is not required. We are looking for someone who is comfortable around technology, can follow established production procedures, and is disciplined about keeping multiple jobs organized at the same time.

What You’ll Do

• Operate multiple automated production machines simultaneously

• Load prepared production files and initiate jobs

• Remove completed parts and prepare machines for the next production cycle

• Clean and maintain production surfaces between runs

• Perform basic equipment checks and troubleshooting

• Monitor machines throughout the shift and identify failed or incomplete jobs

• Organize completed parts by job, quantity, and production order

• Keep accurate records of what has been produced and what remains outstanding

• Maintain a clean and organized production area

• Follow established production schedules and priorities

• Communicate any equipment or quality issues to the production team

What We’re Looking For

You do not need to be an engineer or an experienced technician.

The right person will be:

• Comfortable working with computers and digital equipment

• Mechanically inclined and comfortable performing simple adjustments

• Highly organized

• Reliable and punctual

• Able to manage repetitive production tasks without losing attention to detail

• Comfortable monitoring several machines at once

• Able to follow written production instructions accurately

• Able to work independently once trained

• Focused on quality and consistency

Experience in manufacturing, digital printing, CNC, 3D printing, fabrication, machine operation, or another production environment is helpful, but not required.

Basic familiarity with additive manufacturing or desktop 3D printing would be considered an asset.

About the Role

Most of the technical preparation is completed before production reaches this position. Your job is primarily to keep production moving efficiently: start jobs, monitor equipment, remove completed parts, clean and reset equipment, organize finished components, and begin the next production cycle.

This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, technology, and a structured production environment without requiring advanced programming or engineering experience.

Location: Markham, Ontario
