JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a Graphic Designer / Print Production & Customer Service Officer to join a busy and growing print shop.

- Learn to operate commercial and industrial printing equipment (training provided)
- Assist with print production and finishing processes including cutting, trimming, binding, laminating, folding, mounting, and collating
- Monitor print quality and identify production issues
- Assist with job setup and material preparation for production
- Ensure completed jobs meet customer specifications and quality standards
- Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work environment

- Maintain organised records of customer artwork and completed jobs
- Coordinate jobs between customers, design, and production
- Manage multiple jobs and priorities while meeting deadlines
SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
- Previous experience in graphic design, print design, or a similar role
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat
- Adobe InDesign experience highly regarded
- Understanding of preparing files for professional printing (resolution, sizing, bleed, crop marks, colour)
- Ability to convert, export, and prepare files into suitable print formats
- Strong attention to detail
- Good computer and general administration skills
