About the Role

The Printing Machinist is a hands-on production role at BOO Print, the print and display production arm of BOO Group. You will be trained to operate multiple large format machines - flatbed printers, roll-to-roll printers and large format cutters - as well as other production areas including pressing and finishing.

No prior print experience is required. Full on-the-job training is provided, and operators are cross-trained across the whole production floor. The more machines you can run, the more valuable you become - and the faster you progress along BOO Print's career pathway from operator through to senior production roles.

This is a role for someone eager to learn, technically minded, and proud of producing quality work. You will see the direct result of your efforts in every job that leaves the floor.
