This role is primarily focused on diecutting, with the flexibility to run or offside other converting equipment when production needs require it.

· Maintain, tweak, and optimise diecutting tools to ensure consistent, high-quality output
· Monitor production runs and minimise waste
· Perform routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting on the diecutter
· Offside or run other converting equipment (e.g. folder gluer, other finishing machinery) as required
· Identify and report mechanical or quality issues promptly
· Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area

What You'll Bring
· Proven experience operating a flatbed diecutter, ideally in a corrugated or folding carton environment
· Ability to read and interpret dielines, job tickets, and specifications
· Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
· Flexibility and willingness to run or offside other machinery when needed
· A team-first attitude and strong work ethic
· Ability to work to deadlines while maintaining quality

What We Offer
