Graphic Design & Production Assistant – Sydney CBD
About Us We are a fast-paced, high-volume print signage and promotional products business located right in the heart of the Sydney CBD. We pride ourselves on delivering top-tier physical branding solutions to a diverse range of clients. From large-format window graphics and banners to custom promotional merchandise, we make brands look great.
The Role We are on the hunt for a versatile and highly motivated Graphic Design & Production Assistant to bridge the gap between the studio and the shop floor. This is a hands-on, hybrid role where you will be working with artwork files one minute and helping physically assemble or finish a signage project the next.
Who You Are We are looking for someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. To thrive in our busy environment, you must be:
- A Fast Thinker: You can pivot quickly when urgent jobs drop in, troubleshoot artwork issues on the fly, and keep up with a fast-moving production schedule.
- Highly Practical: You understand that a great design doesn't just live on a screen—it has to be printed, cut, and assembled. You have a mechanical mind and a common-sense approach to making things work in the real world.
- Endlessly Enthusiastic: You bring great energy, a positive attitude, and a willingness to jump in wherever you are needed most.
What You'll Be Doing
- Pre-flighting and preparing client artwork for print (cut sheet digital production, large format and promotional items).
- Making quick layout adjustments and setting up cut-lines and bleed.
- Assisting the production team with printing, binding, weeding vinyl, trimming, mounting, packing orders and booking couriers.
- Quality-checking finished products to ensure they meet our high standards before they leave the door.
- Helping maintain a clean, organized, and efficient workspace.
What You Need to Succeed
- Proficiency in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of applications, specifically InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat.
- Experience designing and adapting layouts in Canva.
- Competency using Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
- A basic understanding of print production processes (experience in large-format printing or signage is a massive bonus, but we will train the right attitude!).
- Exceptional attention to detail.
- The physical capability to assist in a busy production environment (standing, lifting materials, and operating basic finishing equipment).
What We Offer
- A fantastic, easy-to-reach location in the Sydney CBD.
- A dynamic, fun, and supportive team environment where no two days are the same.
- Hands-on training and the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the signage and promotions industry.
