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.
