Pre Press Mac Operator
We’re a specialist print company operating at the forefront of the superwide and wide format digital printing industry, delivering high-impact visual solutions for some of New Zealand’s top brands. We’re on the lookout for a talented Prepress Mac Operator who takes pride in their craft, has a sharp eye for detail, and is passionate about producing outstanding, high-quality work.
About the Role
You’ll be responsible for preparing artwork for production across a wide range of formats including billboards, banners, adhesive vinyl graphics, retail displays, fabric, and exhibition signage. Working in a fast-paced environment, your core duties will include:
- Setting up and troubleshooting client-supplied artwork
- Resizing and reformatting for output
- Colour correction and basic layout adjustments
- Ripping files for print
- Specialised prepress work, including creation of white ink channels, digital die-lines for cutting, and display planning/design
- Coordinating external suppliers and finishing services
You’ll need to be confident using Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and ideally have experience working in a print or signage environment. A strong eye for colour and precision is essential — and we’ll provide training in colour management and correction.
What We’re Looking For
We’re after someone with:- Solid skills in the Adobe Creative Suite
- Meticulous attention to detail and colour accuracy
- The ability to work quickly without compromising quality
- A proactive mindset and willingness to learn from past projects
- Excellent recall and organisational skills
Bonus: Experience in large-format or signage prepress is a huge plus
If you're passionate about quality print, thrive on solving challenges, and want to be part of a small but highly skilled team that values excellence — we'd love to hear from you.
