About Us

We are a fast-growing commercial printing and signage company located in Garner, NC. Our operation runs a mix of digital and offset production, large-format/signage, finishing, mailing, and custom project work. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a strong Production Manager/Scheduler who can elevate our processes, strengthen the team, and help push a high-volume shop to its next level of performance.

Position Overview

The Production Manager will oversee all day-to-day operations of the print production floor, including scheduling, workflow management, personnel, and continuous improvement initiatives. This role is responsible for a 10-person production team and will work closely with sales, project management, prepress, and leadership to ensure that jobs move efficiently through the shop.
