Job Title: Litho Printer / Press Operator 

Location: Rotherham

We’re on the lookout for an experienced Litho Printer / Press Operator to join the team at B&B Press and run our B2 Heidelberg LED UV press.

If you care about beautiful, consistent, sustainable print (and you get a quiet buzz from a perfectly balanced sheet), you’ll fit right in.

The Role

• Shifts: Mornings & Afters
• Hours: 40 hours per week
• Salary: £38,000–£40,000 per year (depending on experience)

You’ll be responsible for producing high quality, sustainable print – not the quick, cheap and cheerful stuff. Our customers expect the best, and so do we.

What you’ll be doing

• Running a B2 Heidelberg LED UV press to a consistently high standard
• Producing print to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and Carbon Balanced Print standards
• Managing customer press passes and representing the press room professionally
• Making dot gain adjustments and other press tweaks to maintain accurate colour
• Carrying out consumables stock takes and keeping everything shipshape
• Working closely with internal departments (sales, studio, finishing) to keep jobs moving smoothly
• Spotting and correcting issues quickly – from colour variation to print defects
• Supporting your teammates to keep the press room running efficiently and safely

What we’re looking for

• Significant, recent experience of running Heidelberg presses
• LED UV experience is a strong advantage
• Excellent colour knowledge and the ability to spot poor print at a glance
• Experience using colour management software and printing to ISO / FOGRA standards
• Strong communication skills – you’re comfortable talking to colleagues and occasionally to customers on press passes
• A genuine care for the finished product – you take pride in every sheet that leaves your press
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to doing things properly
• Reliable and punctual, with good time management
• Flexible and understanding of the demands of the print industry
• A calm, approachable and professional manner, even when it’s busy

What you’ll get in return

We know print is a demanding trade, so we work hard to make B&B Press a place people want to stay.

• Competitive salary: £38,000–£40,000 depending on experience
• A stable, full-time role with a well-established, forward-thinking print company
• The chance to work with modern Heidelberg LED UV technology and sustainable print methods
• Being part of a friendly, supportive team where your experience is genuinely valued
• Training and development opportunities to keep your skills sharp
• Company pension scheme
• Generous holiday allowance plus bank holidays
• Free onsite parking
• A clean, well-organised press room with a focus on quality, safety and sustainability
• The feel-good factor of working for a Carbon Balanced Printer, helping customers reduce their environmental impact
