Job description

Location: Letchworth

Shift: Nights, 22:00-06:00

Pay: £13.30-£17.50 per hour, depending on experience and skill level, plus a 20% night-shift uplift

Training: Full training on the Nozomi machine provided

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Digital Printer / Print Operator to join a busy production environment on a permanent night shift.

Direct experience operating a Nozomi digital press would be highly desirable; however, this is not essential. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience operating digital flatbed printing equipment and a strong understanding of digital printing processes.

The successful candidate will receive full training on the Nozomi high-speed single-pass digital press from experienced operators.

Key Responsibilities

• Operating and monitoring a high-speed digital printing press.
• Setting up print jobs and ensuring production requirements are met.
• Monitoring print quality throughout the production process.
• Carrying out colour and quality checks and making adjustments where required.
• Working with RIP software and digital print files.
• Identifying and reporting printing or machine issues.
• Completing routine operator checks and basic machine maintenance.
• Ensuring materials and finished products meet required quality standards.
• Following production schedules and site procedures.
• Maintaining a clean and safe working environment.

Experience We Are Looking For

Ideally, candidates will have:

• Previous experience working as a Digital Printer, Print Operator or Machine Operator within the printing industry.
• Experience operating digital flatbed printing equipment.
• A good understanding of digital printing processes.
• Knowledge of RIP software.
• Understanding of colour management and colour matching.
• Good attention to detail and strong quality standards.
• Confidence working with technical machinery and production systems.
• Ability to identify and resolve basic print-quality or machine issues.
• Willingness to learn and complete full training on the Nozomi press.

Previous Nozomi experience would be a significant advantage but is not essential.

Shift & Training

The permanent shift for this position will be:

22:00-06:00 - Night Shift

Before moving onto nights, the successful candidate will complete a structured training programme with experienced Digital Print Operators.

Training may take place on:

• Early shifts
• Late shifts
• 08:00-16:00
• 09:00-17:00

The training period will be a minimum of one month and may extend up to three months, depending on the candidate's previous experience, skills and progress.

Candidates must therefore be flexible to work different shifts during the initial training period before moving permanently onto nights.
