Job Description

As a Sheeter Operator, you are the critical link between raw paper rolls and the high-
precision printing process. You’ll be responsible for transforming massive rolls of
paperboard into perfectly sized, flat sheets, ensuring the highest standards of quality
and efficiency for our packaging production.

Responsibilities:

* Machine Operation: Set up, calibrate, and operate high-speed sheeting equipment to
convert paperboard rolls into precise sheets.
* Quality Control: Constantly monitor sheet dimensions, squareness, and surface quality
to prevent defects (e.g., dust, slitting errors, or scuffing).
* Setup Changeover: Review job tickets to determine specifications (size, weight,
grain direction) and perform efficient make-ready transitions between different jobs.
* Maintenance: Perform routine cleaning and basic preventative maintenance on knives,
rollers, and belts to ensure optimal machine performance.
* Material Handling: Operate forklifts or roll-clamping equipment to load heavy rolls onto
the unwind stands.
* Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve mechanical issues or paper-run jams to minimize
downtime.

Qualifications

* Technical Aptitude: Experience with industrial machinery (preferably sheeters like
Marquip, Goodstrong or Maxson) is a major plus.
* Mathematical Precision: Ability to read a tape measure to 1/32 and perform basic
calculations for sheet counts and waste percentages.
* Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long shifts, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in a fast-
paced manufacturing environment.
* Detail Oriented: A "sharp eye" for catching small defects that could cause issues later
in the printing or die-cutting stages.
* Safety First: Strict adherence to Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures and PPE
