We're looking for an FA / DTP Artist who is able to prepare final artwork files for large-format printing, fabrication, and production. This is a highly technical, production-focused role, where a strong understanding of how artwork is produced, printed, fabricated, and installed is essential.

You will play a key role in ensuring all design files are correctly formatted, technically accurate, and ready for production. This role involves working closely with designers, project managers, and the print/fabrication team to ensure smooth handover and timely delivery of high-quality outputs.

• Ensure correct sizing, bleed, colour mode, resolution, and technical accuracy of all files.

• Amend and adapt client-supplied artwork to meet production requirements.

• Create keylines, die-cut paths, and layout templates when needed and assist in layout editing, simple design amendments, and versioning of artwork files.

• Work closely with designers, project managers and the print team to refine artwork for production.

• Maintain organised file structures, archives, and documentation for all artwork versions.

• Support on-site installation documentation (e.g., artwork breakdowns, measurements, layouts) when needed

Requirements

• Diploma in Visual Communication, Graphic Design, or related field preferred.
• Strong technical and production mindset, with the ability to understand how artwork will translate into a physical finished product.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Prior experience preparing FA/DTP files for large-format print, signage, or fabrication is a strong advantage.
• Good understanding of print production requirements (bleed, CMYK, Pantone, resolutions, etc.).
• Proficient in SketchUp, V-Ray, AutoCAD (or similar tools).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to spot technical errors.
• Ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines.

Bonus

• Experience with luxury, retail, or experiential brand activations.

• Familiarity with on-site setup and safety protocols.
