Job Description

Who We Are

For over 30 years, Calagaz Printing has been Mobile's go-to print partner, and we're not slowing down. As a veteran-owned family business, we take genuine pride in our work and in the relationships we build with our customers and our team. Calagaz Printing is the kind of place where your ideas matter, hard work gets noticed and we celebrate wins together.

We're growing in 2026, and we need a skilled prepress specialist who thrives on precision work and wants to be the crucial link between customer vision and flawless printed results.

What You'll Do

You'll be the crucial link between design concepts and printed reality. In this role, you'll handle file preparation, design, layout, and troubleshooting to ensure every job meets our high standards and exceeds customer expectations. You'll collaborate with sales, customer service, and press operators to deliver accurate, high-quality work on time—every time.

Your Day-to-Day:

  • Receive and prepare customer files for print production
  • Design and layout projects based on job specifications and customer needs
  • Work with the team to review and approve designs before they go to press
  • Create and deliver proofs to customers, meeting deadlines
  • Preflight and troubleshoot digital files - catching issues before they become problems
  • Adjust graphics, handle color separations and ensure color accuracy
  • Prepare files for output to plates, film and digital presses with precision
  • Set up files properly so press operators have everything they need to succeed
  • Maintain detailed records for each job, including specifications and production times
  • Communicate with customer service team, sales, and production to keep projects on track

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree (preferred) and at least 2 years of graphic layout/design experience
  • Minimum 1 year of print production experience
  • Expert proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)
  • Strong knowledge of PDF files, imposition, and color processes (CMYK, spot colors, etc.)
  • Sharp attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality
  • Ability to read measurements and follow technical specifications accurately

You'll thrive here if you:

  • Get satisfaction from catching errors before they happen
  • Can juggle multiple projects and deadlines
  • Enjoy solving technical puzzles and troubleshooting file issues
  • Communicate clearly with both creative and technical team members
  • Stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment
  • Take pride in seeing your work come to life in print
  • Are a team player who understands your work impacts everyone downstream

What We Offer

  • Pay rate: $17.50 - $22.50 (based on experience)
  • Medical insurance
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Opportunities to work on diverse, interesting projects
  • Modern equipment and technology
  • A workplace that values you as a person, not just an employee

Ready to Join Us?

If you're a design and prepress pro who loves precision work, thrives on problem-solving, and wants to be part of a team that's going places, we'd love to hear from you.
