Print technicians conduct one stage of the printing process to produce a range of printed goods.

They use their technical judgement to optimise production, maintain machinery and to resolve production problems and improve performance.
They produce risk assessments and safely handle hazardous materials. They must ensure a safe working environment that complies with health, safety and environmental requirements. To manage the production process, they must keep records using both digital and manual processes. They must work effectively with others, including giving clear instructions to colleagues.
