Rewinder Machine Operator Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Description

Join a Modern Print Operation That's Redefining Packaging

We are actively filling 2nd shift and weekend shift openings, and give strong preference to candidates available for those schedules.

At Cursive, we help leading consumer brands bring their stories to life through high-quality labels and packaging. Using advanced automation and digital technology, we've reimagined how packaging is produced - faster, smarter, and more efficiently. We're a growing, well-capitalized company with a lean team that values innovation, accountability, and craftsmanship.

If you enjoy working with cutting-edge equipment, take pride in quality, and want real growth opportunities, this role is for you.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a full-time Rewinder Operator to join our growing production team. In this role, you'll operate and support rewinding equipment used to finish high-quality labels and shrink-sleeve packaging for leading brands in wine & spirits, health & beauty, and food & beverage.

You'll play a critical role in the final stage of production - ensuring printed materials are slit, inspected, and rewound to customer specifications with precision and consistency. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, operating machinery, and taking ownership of quality and output.

Location note: This position is based at our Mason, OH facility (8467 Duke Blvd) - about 7 miles from West Chester, roughly a 15-minute drive. One of the shortest commutes you'll find for skilled production work in Butler and Warren County. Free on-site parking.
