We’re working with a well-established business serving the
electrical trade, and they’re looking for a Graphic Designer to
join their in-house marketing team. You’ll be creating the visual
assets behind their brand, from product packaging and manuals
through to catalogues, exhibition graphics and product launch
materials.

It’s a varied role with plenty going on at once. You’ll work
closely with the Marketing Projects Manager, who tracks
priorities through a workflow system, and alongside the wider
marketing team, product development, technical, customer service
and warehouse colleagues. The annual catalogue is the big
seasonal project, so managing your time and taking ownership of
your work will be important.

Responsibilities for a Graphic Designer

* Applying and maintaining the brand identity across print,
digital and exhibition materials
* Designing and maintaining product packaging artwork, preparing
print-ready files and managing updates and version control
* Producing manuals, catalogues, brochures, product sheets,
presentations and advertisements
* Creating templates to speed up the production of sales and
marketing documents
* Developing visual assets to support product launches and
marketing campaigns
* Producing graphics for website updates, email campaigns and
social media
* Designing exhibition graphics, banners and display materials
for trade shows and events
* Keeping design files, templates, brand assets and image
libraries well organised
* Managing your own workload to meet deadlines and flagging early
if timelines are at risk
* Working with sales, product and technical teams, as well as
external printers and production partners

Key Skills for a Graphic Designer

* Demonstrable experience in a graphic design role, backed by a
strong Adobe portfolio
* Strong working knowledge of Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop
* Experience preparing artwork for print production
* A good eye for design, and an understanding of how to structure
information so the message is easy to take in
* A high level of accuracy, including checking your own work for
spelling, grammar and detail
* Good organisation and time management, with the confidence to
juggle several projects at once
* Ownership of your work and a proactive approach to quality
control
* A BTEC Diploma in Design or above (degree level is desirable)
* Experience designing packaging, working in an in-house
marketing team or creating exhibition graphics is a bonus
* A technical or industrial background is also a bonus, as
designs need to meet product and industry requirements

If you’re a designer who takes pride in your work and enjoys
being part of a collaborative team, we’d love to hear from you.
