Finishing Machine Operator Jobs in Ohio

A Finishing Machine Operator in the printing industry plays a pivotal role in the final production stage of prints. This includes operating and maintaining machinery that cuts, folds, and binds printed materials into finished books, pamphlets, catalogs, and other products. They are responsible for adjusting machine settings for various types of paper and sizes, inspecting finished products for quality and adherence to customer specifications, and troubleshooting machine malfunctions. Finishing Machine Operators may also have duties such as loading and unloading materials onto the machines, performing minor repairs, and keeping their work area clean and safe.

The role often requires a high school diploma or equivalent, along with some vocational training or job-related course work. They need to have experience with related machinery, good manual dexterity, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to perform repetitive tasks accurately. Certifications from a technical school or trade association can be beneficial. Prior experience in roles such as a Press Operator, Print Machine Operator or a Prepress Technician can be advantageous for someone aiming to become a Finishing Machine Operator. These roles provide knowledge and hands-on experience with printing processes, materials, and machinery, preparing an individual for the more specialized responsibilities of a Finishing Machine Operator.
