Love the idea of making real, physical things — pieces people can hold, hang, and drive around town? At AlphaGraphics Bloomington, we turn files into finished print every day, and we're looking for a Digital Print Production Operator to help us do it well. We're hiring part-time to start, with a real opportunity to move into a full-time role as you grow with us.

This is a hands-on role for someone who's detail-oriented, curious, and ready to build a lasting career in print. A background in print or production is a real plus, and we'll help you grow from there. Alongside our digital printers, you'll also help produce large-format work like banners, signs, and vehicle graphics — with the chance to learn installation down the road, so there's room to keep growing.

You'll be based at our Bloomington office, with a real possibility of picking up hours at our Apple Valley location as well — so we're looking for someone open to working at both. You'll join a tight-knit crew that takes real pride in quality work and genuinely enjoys the day-to-day. We work hard, back each other up, and leave plenty of room for humanity, fun, and a fair bit of laughter.

What you’ll do

• Set up and run our cut-sheet digital printers to produce color and black-and-white jobs — accurately, efficiently, and to a high standard.
• Proof every job against the work order before it runs, and quality-check as you go to keep waste and redos low.
• Calibrate the printers and match colors precisely to client Pantone specs and previous jobs, watching consistency across the entire run.
• Help produce our large-format work too — banners, signs, decals, vehicle graphics, and wall murals. This is a core part of the role, with the opportunity to learn installation down the road.
• Keep our equipment healthy — routine maintenance, cleaning, logs, and coordinating with service techs when a machine needs more.
• Track job status, materials, and inventory in our production system so the whole team knows where things stand.
• Keep your workspace clean, organized, and safe.

What we’re looking for

• Experience or a background in print or a production environment — it's a real benefit in this role and will help you get up to speed quickly.
• A sharp eye for detail and color, and pride in getting things right the first time.
• Comfort juggling several jobs at once and keeping them organized under deadline.
• A reliable, team-first attitude — you show up, follow through, and help out.
• Willing to work at both our Bloomington and Apple Valley locations, with reliable transportation to each.
• Basic computer comfort; you'll learn our specific print software (Fiery Command Workstation) on the job.
• Able to stand, lift, and move materials throughout the shift.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Fiery / Command Workstation, file imposition, or bindery.
• Graphic design skills.
• Customer service experience.

What we offer

• Pay: $19–$23/hour, depending on experience.
• Part-time to start — 20+ hours/week, Monday–Friday. No nights, no weekends. Real potential to grow into a full-time role.
• Hands-on training across digital and large-format printing — with a path to learn installation, too.
• Career-path development — a place to build a career, not just clock a shift.
• A supportive, collaborative team that values humanity, fun, and laughter.
