Quad is seeking a Day Shift General Laborer Ink Manufacturer for our Hartford, WI CR/T location  (please note this is not the Print Plant off of Hwy. 60).

About CR/T

Founded in 1982, CR/T is a leading manufacturer of specialized resins used in ink production. The division focuses on formulating and producing EnviroTech inks, leveraging advanced rosin-based resin polymers to deliver high-performance solutions for printing and coating applications.

About the Role

Join a specialized team at Quad’s CR/T facility, where we manufacture the resins and inks that power our printing operations nationwide. As an Ink Maker, you’ll play a key role in manufacturing the ink by the use of manufacturing equipment such as vertical post mixers, twin screw extruders, horizontal bead, and 3 roll mills, as well as dry powder feed systems. Other responsibilities include forklift operation, as well as railcar and tanker truck unloading.   The starting wage for this position is up to $20.00 / hour or more, depending on experience.   This is a hands-on role in a dynamic industrial environment—not a traditional print shop.

Qualifications

• Ability to work an 8-hour day shift, from 7 am to 3 pm, with opportunities for overtime.    
• The successful candidate must be able to thrive in a team environment and work independently with minimal supervision.
• Experience in pigment ink manufacturing is desirable; however, we are willing to train the right candidate.  
• Previous forklift experience is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate. 
• A working knowledge of Microsoft Office/Windows-based software is strongly desired.
• The ability to perform basic math calculations is essential.
• The ability to lift 50 lbs. or greater is required.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities.

• 401(k) with annual discretionary company match.
• Adoption & surrogacy support, pet insurance, and more.
• A culture that values innovation, safety, and long-term career growth.
