We're a direct mail production and mail house in Russellton, PA, about 30 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. We're hiring a full-time Inkjet Operator to run our addressing equipment and help with handwork on the production floor. No prior mail-house experience required — we train from day one.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Run our inkjet addressing systems — printing names, addresses, barcodes and indicia onto mail pieces. You'll load stock, load and verify the data file for each job, set head position and spacing, watch print quality through the run, clear jams, verify counts, and handle basic maintenance like head cleaning, purging, and ink changes.
Check your own work. Confirm the printed piece matches the job ticket — right file, right piece, right placement. Watch for dropped records, smearing, banding, and misregistration, and pull samples as you go.
Handwork. Jobs too small or too custom for the machines get done by hand — folding, stuffing, labeling, tabbing, collating, banding, and traying. When the inkjet isn't running, you're on the floor with the team.
Floor support. Moving trays, skids and supplies, keeping your area clean, staying in touch with the floor manager.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Reliable attendance and a steady pace
- Comfortable with repetitive, detail-oriented work for a full shift
- Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
- Can read a job ticket, count accurately, and follow instructions
- Basic computer comfort — you'll load and select data files at the machine
- Inkjet, press, bindery or print-production experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Box truck driving experience is a plus — this role occasionally covers as a backup driver
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Standing and walking on concrete most of an 8-hour shift. Lifting up to 50 lbs regularly. Bending, reaching and twisting throughout the day. Continuous hand use. Production-floor noise, paper dust, and ink and solvent odors. Pushing and pulling loaded carts and skids. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position.
PAY & BENEFITS
- $16.00/hour
- Overtime at 1.5x when needed
- Health insurance
- Retirement plan
- Paid time off
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. In person, Russellton PA 15076. Must be able to commute reliably.
