Do you want to work for a company where your co-workers are co-owners? We are 100% employee owned! Smartpress is a fast-growing online printing service, disrupting the traditional printing industry one innovation at a time. Our customers love us (seriously, google Smartpress reviews) and we love them right back, providing an easy online experience, high-quality printed products and world-class customer service.

Not to mention our commitment to eco-friendly practices and sustainable materials (“smart” is in our name, after all).

We are looking for an experienced Fabrication Lead to join our team. You will be responsible for mentoring and coaching employees working in the specific area of responsibility (whether it be bindery, fabricating, cutting, or kitting). You will train new and existing employees on the most efficient and effective methods of machine set‑up and process flow. You will have the opportunity to learn new equipment, first, and as the subject matter expert, will then train and evaluate the work of the other team members.

This position will not, however, have management responsibilities for the team members such as hiring, firing, or completing performance reviews. This role will, however, provide feedback to the manager as to how well the team members are learning the necessary skills required of the team roles. This role is a working lead role, and as a result, it will be necessary for the lead to also complete the applicable work on the job ticket and follow and adhere to the specific job requirements.

You are also responsible for the last quality check before shipment to TBG/Smart Press customers and is the key liaison with the CSR and managers to ensure the job is completed successfully within the customers’ parameters.
