Cutter Operator

Elk Grove Village, IL
The Role: Master of the Press You aren't just pushing buttons; you are the pilot of a Bobst Cutting Press. You’ll be the expert responsible for transforming raw sheets into the high-quality packaging the world relies on.

Your Mission:

  • Precision Setups: Master the "make-ready" process—adjusting feeders, locking up dies, and setting strippers to prep for the next big run.

  • Quality Control: Be the final line of defense. You’ll inspect loads and troubleshoot issues in real-time to ensure every sheet is flawless.

  • Efficiency & Power: Operate heavy machinery and use electric hand trucks to keep the production floor moving at peak performance.

  • Data Integrity: Keep the pulse of the press by tracking production stats, waste, and timing.

The Perks: Why You’ll Love It Here We believe in rewarding the talent that keeps our gears turning. We offer a compensation package designed to lead the industry.

  • Serious Pay: Earn $26.00+ per hour (based on experience).

  • The Power Schedule: Crush your work week and enjoy more days off! We run 12-hour night shifts on a rotating schedule.

  • Built-in Overtime: Boost your paycheck with consistent opportunities for OT.

  • Global Impact: Join a diverse team of 25,000+ employees across 130 locations worldwide.

  • Career Growth: We prefer manufacturing experience, but we value drive and a "get it done" attitude.

What You Bring to the Table
  • The Hustle: You’re comfortable standing, moving, and lifting (routine 20 lbs, occasional 75 lbs) in a dynamic manufacturing environment.

  • Technical Edge: Previous experience with cutting presses or stock boosters is a huge plus.

  • Night Owl Energy: You’re ready to own the 12-hour night shift and bring your A-game when the sun goes down.

  • Reliability: You’re punctual, flexible, and ready to tackle weekends or overtime to hit our goals.
