• Sound understanding of pre-press processes and print production, ideally with experience from a printer background.
• Experience producing graphics for exhibitions, hospitality, retail environments and live events.
• Ability to interpret and work from technical drawings.
• Proficiency with job management systems (e.g. Filemaker, Print IQ, Notion, Excel) advantageous.
• Excellent supplier management and communication skills.
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple projects remotely.

• Self-motivated, able to work independently and take initiative.
• Meticulous attention to detail with a strong focus on accuracy.
