Description

Part-Time Production Operators

*All Shifts Available | Training Provided | Growth Opportunity

We hire for attitude, reliability, communication, and potential.

Production or machine operation experience is helpful but not required. We will train candidates who bring strong work habits, positive energy, good judgment, and a willingness to learn.

About the Opportunity

SFX continues to grow and we are looking for dependable, team-oriented individuals to join our production team as Part-Time Production Operators. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, wants steady part-time hours, and is ready to learn valuable production skills in a supportive environment.

The right candidate does not need to come in with technical machine experience. What matters most is reliability, attention to detail, a positive attitude, strong communication, and the ability to recognize when something does not look right and speak up quickly.

What You Will Do

In this role, you will help support high-speed mail production equipment in a fast-paced, team-focused environment. You will be trained to follow job instructions, monitor quality, identify issues early, and communicate clearly with leads, supervisors, and team members.

• Set up, operate, and monitor production equipment according to job requirements and work instructions.
• Review job documentation, audit sheets, and order information to help ensure work is accurate.
• Perform quality checks throughout the production process and identify issues before they become bigger problems.
• Communicate clearly and promptly when there are delays, errors, equipment concerns, missing information, or other issues.
• Learn basic troubleshooting steps to help keep production moving safely and efficiently.
• Assist with product changeovers, machine adjustments, handwork, reprints, and other production tasks as needed.
• Complete required logs, including maintenance notes and machine downtime reporting.
• Follow all safety procedures and help maintain a clean, organized production area.
• Work collaboratively with the team to meet daily production goals, deadlines, and service-level expectations.
• Safely move carts and materials, including lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, and standing for extended periods.

What We Are Looking For

We are more interested in finding the right person than finding someone who already knows the equipment. Previous production or machine operation experience is a plus, but it is not required.

Work Ethic

Communication

Learning Mindset

Reliable attendance, steady effort, accountability, and willingness to pitch in where needed.

Comfort asking questions, sharing concerns, reporting problems, and keeping the team informed.

Curiosity, coachability, attention to detail, and willingness to learn equipment and processes.

Qualifications and Strengths

• Reliable and dependable attendance.
• Positive attitude, professional energy, and pride in doing quality work.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to raise concerns and report issues promptly.
• Ability to follow detailed instructions and verify information accurately.
• Careful, quality-focused approach to tasks and deadlines.
• Comfort working with computers, technology, and production documentation.
• Basic math skills, including working with numbers, counts, fractions, and percentages.
• Team-first mindset and respect for safety, quality standards, and production goals.
• Willingness to learn basic equipment troubleshooting and production processes.
• Mechanical aptitude or prior machine operation experience is helpful, but not required.

Physical Requirements

• Stand for extended periods during 4-8-10 hour shifts.
• Frequently lift 10 to 50 pounds.
• Bend, push, pull, and safely move carts or materials.
• Work in a production environment where attention to safety and surroundings is important.

Experience That Is Helpful, But Not Required

Experience with mail inserter equipment, including BlueCrest or Pitney Bowes systems, is a plus. However, we are happy to train dependable, coachable candidates who are eager to learn and committed to doing quality work.

Why Join Us?

• Part-time opportunities available.
• All shifts available.
• Flexible scheduling options.
• Competitive pay.
• Training provided.
• Supportive team environment.
• Opportunity to learn new skills.
• Potential for growth and advancement.
• A role where reliability, communication, and teamwork truly matter.
