Are you the screen printer who can spot a registration issue from across the shop, fine-tune a press like a pro, and knows exactly what it takes to turn a good print into a great one?
We're looking for a skilled, hands-on **Screen Printing Production Lead** who lives and breathes the craft, understands the mechanics behind the magic, and isn't afraid to jump into the action.
This is NOT a sit-back-and-supervise kind of job!
You'll be the technical go-to person on our production floor, helping keep our M&R equipment performing at its best, tackling challenging multi-color prints, troubleshooting production issues, and stepping in wherever your skills make the biggest difference.

You'll bring the expertise. We'll bring the projects. Together, we'll make some seriously great prints!
WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE FLOOR
- PRESS PERFORMANCE PRO: Partner with press operators to perfect complex multi-color setups, registration, squeegee pressure, flood angles, and cure times. You know how to dial in the details that make all the difference.
- THE ULTIMATE PRODUCTION PLAYER: Float wherever the action is! Operate automatic presses, load, unload, catch, troubleshoot, and jump into production wherever an extra set of skilled hands is needed.
- QUALITY IS YOUR SIGNATURE: Collaborate with our Technical Advisor and Art Department to review, troubleshoot, and approve new jobs and reprints. Your trained eye helps ensure every print meets our standards.
- LEAD FROM THE FLOOR: Work alongside the Technical Advisor and Operations Manager to keep production organized, the team focused, and jobs moving on schedule.
- THE GO-TO PROBLEM SOLVER: Identify equipment and production challenges, troubleshoot issues, and find practical solutions before small problems become big production delays.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT?
- YOU KNOW YOUR CRAFT: 3–5 years of hands-on experience operating automatic screen-printing equipment daily. M&R equipment experience is a definite plus!
- YOU UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS: You know the difference between a good setup and a great one. Registration, ink coverage, squeegee pressure, print quality, and equipment performance are part of your everyday vocabulary.
- YOU LEAD WITHOUT THE EGO: You're equally comfortable fine-tuning a press or catching shirts off the dryer. No task is beneath you, and teamwork comes naturally.
- YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP: You're dependable, resourceful, proactive, and someone the team can count on when things get busy.

Production Specialist Jobs in New Hampshire: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production specialist in New Hampshire?
Most production specialist roles in New Hampshire are accessible with a high school diploma plus technical training from a program at institutions like Manchester Community College or Nashua Community College, which offer manufacturing and precision machining certificates. New Hampshire does not require a state-issued license for most production specialist positions, though employers in defense or medical device manufacturing often require OSHA safety certifications and may sponsor specialized credentials like Six Sigma or IPC soldering certification on the job.
Which companies hire production specialists in New Hampshire?
Companies currently hiring production specialists in New Hampshire include Goodwill Industries of Northern New Engl, SubCom, and Forward Merch, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New Hampshire's defense and advanced manufacturing base means employers in the Nashua and Manchester corridors are among the most consistent sources of production specialist openings year-round.
Which New Hampshire cities have the most production specialist jobs?
Salem, Amherst, and Bedford have the most production specialist openings in New Hampshire. Manchester and Nashua lead because they anchor the state's advanced manufacturing and defense electronics corridor, where large employers like BAE Systems and Benchmark Electronics operate major facilities, while Portsmouth supports openings tied to its aerospace and precision components base.
Are there remote production specialist jobs in New Hampshire?
Yes, but they're rare. Production specialist work is largely hands-on and tied to a physical facility, so most roles require on-site presence. About 0% of production specialist openings tied to New Hampshire are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to involve quality documentation, production scheduling, or process coordination rather than direct floor work.
How can I get hired as a production specialist in New Hampshire with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a production associate or line operator role at one of New Hampshire's large manufacturers, where on-the-job training is standard. Employers like BAE Systems and regional contract manufacturers in the Nashua corridor routinely bring in candidates without prior experience through manufacturing apprenticeship programs and temp-to-hire arrangements. Completing a short-term certificate in machining or electronics assembly at Manchester Community College strengthens your application and is often the edge that moves a new candidate to an interview.
Where can I find and apply to production specialist jobs in New Hampshire?
