Manufacturing Associate โ€“ Finishing/Bindery (Weโ€™ll Train You!)

1st shift 6:30AM - 3PM

At Sheridan your work doesnโ€™t disappear into a spreadsheetโ€”it becomes books, catalogs, and printed materials people use every day. If youโ€™ve worked with machines, enjoy hands-on work, and take pride in quality, weโ€™ll train you to run high-speed bindery equipment.

Weโ€™re hiring anyone who is ready to learn, grow, and build a long-term career in print manufacturing.

What Weโ€™re Looking For:

  • High School diploma, GED, or equivalent is required.
  • Ability to understand and follow basic verbal and written instructions.
  • Ability to read sufficiently to identify various printed forms and count accurately.
  • Show up reliably and work well with a team

Physical & Work Environment:

Work is performed in a factory environment with regular exposure to dust, dirt, noise, and physical hazards of machinery, plus some exposure to fumes, oils, lubricants, and chemicals.

  • Walking: Must be able to walk with ease, as some operations require constant walking.
  • Standing: Must be able to stand (almost all jobs operations require long hours) on a concrete floor, or wooden platform.
  • Lifting: Must be able to lift various materials weighing up to 50 pounds continuously.
  • Twisting: Must be able to twist/rotate at the waist, up to 90 degrees, when loading or packing.
