Hours:

Full-time, permanent

We’re looking for a talented Graphic Technician (Pre-Press / Technical Designer) to join the graphics department of an established UK manufacturer.

This isn’t purely a creative design position. It’s a hands-on, technical graphics role where you’ll prepare artwork and files ready to move into production.

If you’re accurate, organised and confident working with Adobe Illustrator, this could be a brilliant opportunity to develop your technical skills within a busy manufacturing environment.

🎁 Benefits

✔️ Permanent position
✔️ Supportive, experienced team
✔️ Opportunity to develop your technical skills
✔️ Varied, production-focused graphics work

✅ Must Haves

Strong working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
Organised and methodical approach
Ability to interpret briefs accurately
Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
Reliable, positive attitude and strong teamwork skills

Key Responsibilities

As a Graphic Technician, you’ll:

Prepare and set up artwork files ready for production
Ensure artwork has the correct bleed, scale and colour settings
Convert and manage different file formats
Interpret briefs and technical drawings
Work closely with production colleagues to ensure files are set up correctly
Help minimise errors and unnecessary rework
Maintain organised project files and documentation
Support the graphics and production teams in meeting deadlines
Ensure consistently high standards of accuracy and quality

Essential Qualifications / Skills

You’ll need strong Adobe Illustrator skills alongside excellent accuracy and attention to detail.

Previous experience preparing artwork within a print, manufacturing or similar production environment would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.

Experience with 2D CAD software would also be an advantage, as would knowledge of colour management and preparing artwork for production processes.

If you’re currently working as a Graphic Technician, Artworker, Pre-Press Technician, Technical Designer or in a similar production graphics position, we’d love to hear from you.
