This position is also open to students currently in year 12.

You will be working directly with heavy machinery and production equipment.

Assisting with waste paper removal and general production housekeeping
Preparing materials, inks,



and job components
Helping qualified printers with press setups
Supporting quality checks and finishing processes
Keeping the production area tidy, safe, and well‐organised
Note: These tasks may be repetitive at first, but they are key to learning how a print floor operates.

Assisting with running press equipment
Learning how to troubleshoot common production issues
Building the skills to eventually operate your own printing press under supervision
