About FedEx Office In-Store Production
Production Specialists at FedEx Office focus exclusively on the behind-the-counter print production workflow — operating digital presses, managing the order queue, and executing finishing processes from open to close. Unlike general team members who rotate across shipping, retail, and printing, Production Specialists spend their entire shift on the production floor, maximizing equipment utilization and order throughput. This dedicated production focus makes the role ideal for individuals who enjoy operating machinery and producing tangible, high-quality output.

Key Responsibilities
- Process the store's daily print order queue, prioritizing jobs by deadline, complexity, and service level commitment.

- Perform quality checks on every completed order verifying color accuracy, page sequencing, and finishing specifications.
- Maintain production equipment through daily cleaning, toner replacement, paper loading, and basic jam clearing.
Qualifications & Benefits
Must be 18+ with a high school diploma or equivalent. Prior experience with digital printing equipment preferred but not required — FedEx Office provides full equipment training.
