- Ensure work areas are clean, organized, and compliant with safety standards.
- Report facility or equipment concerns and assist with troubleshooting as appropriate.

**Time, Labor & Communication**

- Support daily staffing decisions, overtime needs, and shift handoffs.
- Review and approve hourly timecards assigned.
- Communicate production status, priorities, and issues to leadership and cross-functional partners.
- Participate in production meetings and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

**What We Are Looking For**

- High School Diploma or GED required; technical or vocational training preferred.
- 2+years of experience in a manufacturing or printing production environment (digital, flexo, screen, or finishing).
- Prior lead or informal supervisory experience strongly preferred.
- Strong mechanical aptitude with hands-on problem-solving skills.
