About the role
Description supplied by the original job listing.
As a Reclaim & Screen Preparation Operator, you are a crucial and versatile link in our production process. You ensure that used printing screens are cleaned safely and thoroughly, and that new mesh is professionally stretched onto the frames. Because you work with chemical cleaning agents, stretching equipment, and industrial washers, safety, precision, and quality awareness are your top priorities.
Additionally, you are a hands-on team player with a flexible mindset: when needed, you willingly step in to assist other departments across the company to help achieve the best overall results.
Key Responsibilities
Cleaning & Stripping (Reclaim): Remove ink residue, emulsion layers, and adhesives from used screen frames using chemical cleaning agents and high-pressure washers.
Screen Stretching: Remove old mesh, prep/sand frames, and professionally stretch new screen mesh onto frames to the required tension levels.
Process Control & Maintenance: Operate and maintain washing stations, tension meters, and chemical degreasers.
Quality Control: Inspect cleaned and newly stretched screens for correct mesh tension, damage, and complete removal of grease or ghost images.
Chemical Handling & Safety: Safely handle, dose, and store chemicals and frame adhesives in accordance with safety and environmental guidelines.
All-Round Duties & General Support:
Support colleagues in other departments during peak periods or absences (e.g., preparation, finishing, ink mixing, or warehouse work).
Actively contribute to maintaining a clean, organized, and safe working environment throughout the entire facility.
Education & Experience: Vocational/technical background (e.g., technical diploma or relevant experience in screen printing/manufacturing).
Skills: Prior experience with screen stretching or working in a screen printing facility is a strong plus.
Mindset: Flexible and all-round; you enjoy varied daily tasks and are eager to assist wherever needed within the company.
Safety Awareness: Strict adherence to safety protocols and consistent use of required PPE when handling chemicals.
Physical Fitness: Physically fit with a hands-on attitude (role involves lifting, standing, and handling machinery).
