To be successful in this position, you must possess high attention to detail, have good communication skills and work well both on your own and as part of a team. You must provide exceptional customer service and produce consistently amazing work.

Working at our Bunbury studio, your tasks/responsibilities will include:

• Keeping production areas neat, tidy and organised.
• Art Reproduction (Scanning and Photographic)
• Coordinating studio and equipment hire.
• Liaising with our Creative Director to complete all tasks and explore new opportunities for the business.

The successful applicant will possess:

Desirable attributes:

• Understanding of colour management.
• Qualifications or experience in photography, graphic or interior design, or printing.

Who you are:

The role would suit a photographer looking for weekday work to supplement their weekend passion, or a design-conscious individual looking for a career in a creative industry. There is scope to expand the role to include other creative tasks once you’ve mastered the print essentials, working in an environment that rewards initiative and encourages development.

While colour management knowledge would be advantageous, no previous printing experience is required as full on the job training will be given to the successful applicant. If you consider yourself a people person who is motivated and driven with a proven ability to build strong relationships while taking pride in your work, and you want a career in a creative industry, we look forward to receiving your application.
