Collaborative. Positive. Respectful. Organised. Exceptional People Skills. At Echo, the Studio and Art workers are at the heart of our business. Your role involves collaborating closely with the Project and Design teams. You will possess a thorough knowledge of print production techniques and the nuances of preparing artwork. Key responsibilities will include creating, modifying, and preparing artwork for both client approval and the print production process, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards of quality and precision.

Working with some of the world’s most iconic and luxurious brands, your primary responsibility will be to take the lead in developing artwork for a select group of clients. This involves cultivating strong relationships and acquiring a deep understanding of their unique creative needs, enabling you to tailor your technical approach to their specific requirements.

At Echo, our workflow approach is a hybrid. Depending on the nature of the work, we combine the structured predictability of the Waterfall method with the flexible adaptability of Agile. This necessitates that all our team members are comfortable and proficient in both approaches, ensuring seamless integration and adaptability according to project demands.

The nature of our industry is that working ad hoc additional hours, or out of regular working hours, can be expected as a normal function of this role. Paid overtime, or time in lieu, is provided for this. The leadership team of Echo House remain committed to limiting the extent and potential impact for all individuals at Echo.

We uphold a culture of mutual respect, acknowledging that each team member's unique contributions enrich our collective output. Success at Echo hinges on your capacity to collaborate, deliver results, and bring a proactive spirit to our dynamic, often high-pressure environment.
