Bindery Machine Operator Jobs
A Bindery Machine Operator in the printing industry is responsible for operating and maintaining machinery that collates, binds, trims, and finishes printed products. They play a critical role in the final stages of the printing process, ensuring the end product is to specification and of high quality. Duties include adjusting machine settings for different jobs, overseeing the production process, performing quality checks, and conducting regular machine maintenance and repairs. They may also be involved in packing and shipping finished products.
