Machine Operator - Perfect Binding

Description

Run a Muller Martini Perfect Binder in a state-of-the-art bindery. We’ll train you.

Muller Martini is the name bindery pros know, and at Seaway Printing it’s what you’ll run every shift. Our Muller Martini Perfect Binder turns printed pages into finished books, journals, and manuals. It runs in a state-of-the-art bindery in a new, climate-controlled building, with the automation and controls that make great finishing possible.

You don’t need a printing background to start. You need to be dependable, curious about how machines work, and someone who takes pride in getting things right. We’ll pay you to learn, training you on the job until you can set up, make ready, and run the Muller Martini on your own.

Seaway is one of the fastest-growing printers in the Midwest. We produce magazines, books, journals, and manuals for publishers, associations, and national distribution partners, and that work comes off our presses every day. We’re growing, and we want people who will grow with us.
