Quad is seeking a Night 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, Chemical Research/Technology (CR/T) is Quad’s ink manufacturing subsidiary. As one of the largest ink manufacturers in the country, it is responsible for the development, testing, and support of inks, coatings, and related materials used in Quad’s print and manufacturing operations. The team focuses on formulation, material performance, and process compatibility to ensure consistent production outcomes across platforms.
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, along with railcar and tanker truck unloading. The starting wage for this position is up to $20.00 / hour or more, depending on experience. You will receive an additional $3.00 night shift premium for working the night shift. This is a hands-on role in a dynamic industrial environment—not a traditional print shop.
