Gomer Press is an established family owned business in rural Wales, working with many of the most prestigious publishers in the UK to produce beautiful books.
We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic industrial sewing machine operator. Ideally the candidate will be experienced in book sewing but experience of industrial sewing machines is acceptable.
The applicant must be comfortable with learning and operating machinery independently and have a desire to understand how they work in order to maintain and fix when necessary. Full training will be provided.
Attention to detail is essential, as is the ability to work quickly and consistently in a fast moving deadline driven environment. Mechanical problem solving skills are very helpful in dealing with complex equipment, and experience of running print finishing equipment is a definite advantage.
Working hours average at 37.5 hours per week, but vary as below to reflect the fact that the factory tends to get busier through the calendar year:
