Are you obsessed with grids, margins, and making everything pixel-perfect? Do you get an unreasonable amount of joy from watching a perfectly aligned label roll off the press? Then you might just be our next Junior DTP Print Designer!
We’re on the hunt for a fresh-thinking, detail-obsessed creative with a flair for layout, a love of paper, and a borderline unhealthy relationship with Adobe InDesign. You’ll work alongside our seasoned designers to bring everything from packaging to posters, point-of-sale to product catalogues, to life — all with that chef’s kiss finish.
Responsibilities:
Prepping designs for print like a total pro (even if you’re still learning, we’re here to help teach you)
Rolling out layout work across formats — from brochures to banners, and everything in between
Helping with resizing, versioning and adapting master creative into clean, print-ready artwork
Keeping an eagle eye on alignment, spacing and bleed (you know it matters)
Collaborating with the design team to support big ideas with clean execution
Supporting with digital versions of print files where needed (we love a multi-tasker)
Learning loads, asking questions, and levelling up your skills every week!
Requirements:
A relevant qualification (Graphic Design, Visual Communication or similar)
A solid portfolio of layout-based work — uni projects welcome!
Working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
A basic understanding of print processes and specs (we’ll teach you the rest)
Excellent attention to detail — you notice when the kerning’s off by 0.25pt
Great communication skills and a can-do, positive attitude
The ability to take feedback like a champ and apply it constructively
Bonus: experience working with packaging or large-format print is a plus. We require a small skill test to show you know what you’re doing! That’s all.
