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.
