Production & Pre-Press Associate

Full-Time | On-Site | Chicago (South Loop)
SpeedPro Imaging – Chicago Loop
2028 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL
Core Hours: 8:30am–5:30pm
(With occasional “events exist and deadlines are not theoretical” hours)

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ THIS PART. REALLY.

This role is not remote.
This role is not entry-level.
This role is not your vibe-check, side hustle, or for career exploration.

If you have not already worked in a large-format print production environment, please do not apply. This isn’t arrogance — it’s efficiency. Yours and ours.

Recruiters, staffing agencies, headhunters or talent whisperers who “just want to hop on a quick call”:
Please don’t contact us. We won’t respond.
This is not a challenge. It’s a boundary.

Now that we've got that out of the way....

ABOUT SPEEDPRO CHICAGO LOOP

We’re entering our 11th year, and we run a studio that performs at a level most print shops talk about and very few actually hit.

A few facts (because vibes are nice, but results pay the rent):

Top-10 performing studio nationally
IFA's Franchisee of the Year
Inc. 5000 Regional honoree
Top 150 Largest 'Large Format Printers in North America'
Perfect 5-star reviews

We don’t list awards to impress you — we list them so you understand our standard.

We produce big, complex, time-sensitive graphics for brands, agencies, events, and tradeshows where failure is not an option. Our work is large, fast, unforgiving, and highly visible. We like it that way.

THE ROLE (WHO THIS GIG IS ACTUALLY FOR)

This job is for someone who already knows production and wants to do it at a higher level, with better tools, and fewer self-inflicted problems.

You’ll be hands-on across pre-press, production, finishing, and delivery. This is not “push button and pray it prints.” This is craftsmanship under pressure — the kind that feels good when you nail it.

Think of this job posting as a Bumble compatibility filter. Swipe right if you:

Get mildly offended by sloppy files
Treat deadlines with the seriousness of a court date
Feel pride when something comes off the table looking perfect

HOWEVER, you should swipe left if “yeah, it's good enough” is an attractive personality trait; because if so, we can promise this job will be one of your shortest relationships.

___

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Running printers, cutters, laminators, and finishing equipment with an obsessive focus
Catching file issues before they turn into uncomfortable meetings
Making smart decisions on color, materials, and finishing
-whatever is required
Managing multiple jobs without drama, panic or disappearing mid-shift

Equipment You’ll Work With

EFI Pro 30H Hybrid Flatbed
Canon Océ Colorado M5
Mutoh XpertJet 661 (ADA signage)
Esko CNC Cutter/Router
Kala Mistral Laminator
Juki Sewing Machine
Acrylic Heat Bender

(If that list makes you nod confidently with understanding instead of Googling in complete bewilderment — excellent.)

NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS

Let’s keep this efficient:

4+ years in a large-format print or sign shop
Fluent in Illustrator, Photoshop, In-Design (Adobe Creative Suite), as well as RIP software like Onyx or Fiery
Solid grasp of file prep, bleed, color, substrates, finishing
Comfortable moving fast without cutting corners
Organized, reliable, and capable of working independently
Able to lift 60 lb rolls of vinyl and heavy substrates

Nice-to-Haves (Career Accelerators):

AI Image generation (any platform)
CNC routing
3D packaging or CAD
Sewing or specialty finishing

WHO THRIVES HERE

People who do well here are usually:

Calm when others spiral
Detail-obsessed, but not paralyzed by perfection
Team-oriented without needing hand-holding, constant reassurance or ceremonial praise
Comfortable being accountable
Intolerant of mediocrity

We joke. We help each other. We move fast. We don’t babysit.

ABOUT THE OWNERS

SpeedPro Chicago Loop is partner-owned by Eric Lazar (former media & mobile tech executive, Marine Corps veteran) and Rebecca Considine (broadcast TV sales leader).

They run the studio the same way they’ve built every successful team:
clear expectations, real accountability, zero B.S. — and humor where it belongs.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

$21–$26/hour, based on experience
Full-time (40 hrs/week + overtime as needed and available)
Monthly & annual performance bonuses
401(k) with employer contribution after 1 year of service
Healthcare stipend

FINAL WORDS (YES, READ THESE TOO)

Integrity, Judgment, Initiative and Dependability are mandatory traits
Military veterans encouraged to apply
Valid driver’s license preferred

HOW TO APPLY:
Provide a short cover letter, resume, and portfolio (if applicable):

No phone calls
No walk-ins
No recruiters

If you want to work in a high-performing shop that actually delivers, with people who take the work seriously (but not themselves), and you meet the requirements — we’d genuinely like to hear from you.
