MAILROOM SUPERVISOR - Small daily on the scenic Oregon coast -
We have been asked by the publishers of The Daily Astorian in Astoria, OR to assist in their search for a proven leader to supervise their mailroom/packaging operations. The newspaper is a 5-day daily with approximately 8,000 paid circulation. It's evening delivery which means that you'll typically work a day shift, Monday through Friday, no weekends.

This newspaper company publishes the daily, and a handful of weekly and niche publications. In addition, they serve a number of outside commercial printing clients. The department is well equipped with new or recently rebuilt inserting and labeling systems. Equipment includes recently rebuilt Muller 227 inserters - 7 into 1.

You'll need to demonstrate a high-level of competence in running and maintaining department equipment and systems.

Just across Young's Bay is Warrenton, a city of 4,500 that encompasses Fort Stevens State Park and its broad, clean ocean beaches. Astoria and Warrenton have a marine climate, which means the summers are cool, with highs around 70, and the winters are mild, with few nights of freezing temperatures. The area gets about 75 inches of rain per year, which accounts for its vivid greenness and crystal clear air. There is a relatively low cost of living, including housing...and, Oregon has no state sales tax. For more about the community and the region, visit www.oldoregon.com and www.astoria.or.us.
