MTA Digital is growing, and we're building out our leadership team to match — this is a newly created role, not a replacement, reporting into the General Manager.
About Us
MTA Digital is one of the few print businesses that genuinely does both small-format and large-format work under one roof, from business cards and leaflets through to large-format print and installations. We're a close-knit, family-run team based in London (SE6).
The Role
Running the day-to-day of our factory floor from production scheduling, quality, managing the production team and working closely with our Installation Manager and our new General Manager.
What you'll be doing
- Day-to-day management of the production team on the factory floor
- Scheduling and prioritising jobs across small-format and large-format print runs
- Quality control and troubleshooting on press
- Overseeing our print processes: HP Indigo and toner digital presses, plus our EFI wide-format press — directing and instructing the factory floor team on press
- Overseeing print finishing across both small and large format: guillotining, folding, saddle-stitching and laminating
- Instigating cross-training across the production team to build a more flexible, multi-skilled floor
- Line management: performance, holidays, day-to-day people management for the production team
- Working closely with the Installation Manager to keep production and installation schedules aligned
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for (essential)
- Solid hands-on experience in small-format print production

- Good knowledge of HP Indigo, toner press, and EFI wide-format print processes — enough to instruct, troubleshoot and oversee factory floor staff (you won't be required to run the presses yourself)

- Right to work in the UK
