Apprentice Digital Print Operator

As an Apprentice Digital Print Operator, you'll work alongside experienced printers, learning how to turn digital designs into finished printed products.

Your day-to-day tasks will include:

• Learning to set up and operate digital printing machines.
• Preparing digital files and managing print jobs.
• Checking print quality, colours and accuracy.
• Learning finishing techniques, including cutting and laminating.
• Helping maintain and clean printing equipment.
• Working as part of a team to meet customer orders and deadlines.
• Following health and safety procedures and keeping your workspace organised.

The apprentice will receive hands-on training in the workplace, working alongside experienced print operators to develop practical skills in digital printing, machine operation, quality control and print finishing.

Training will be supported by regular apprenticeship learning sessions, with time allocated during working hours to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for the qualification.

The exact training schedule and delivery arrangements will be confirmed upon enrolment.

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, there may be opportunities to progress into a permanent Digital Print Operator role, with further career development into senior print production, print finishing, quality control or team leadership positions.

Applicants must be comfortable working in a busy production environment, spending periods of time on their feet and following workplace health and safety procedures. The role involves handling printing materials and equipment, so a practical, hands-on approach is essential.
