Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm
Are you an experienced finishing professional looking to step into a management role? Or maybe you’re already leading a team and fancy a fresh challenge? This role could be spot on.
They are a well established large format print and signage business with plenty of growth happening. Right now, they need someone to take charge of the finishing department – planning workloads, keeping quality high, and making sure jobs leave the building on time.
What you’ll be doing
* Running the day to day in finishing, from scheduling through to dispatch
* Supervising and developing a team of finishers – training, rotas, and keeping everyone on track
* Getting hands on with kit like automated cutters (Zünd/Kongsberg or similar), laminators, sewing machines, and mounting tables
* Making sure jobs are trimmed, mounted, hemmed, eyeletted, and packaged to a top standard
* Keeping the department safe, organised, and efficient – always looking for ways to improve
What they’re looking for
* Solid experience in large format print/signage finishing, ideally with some management responsibility already
* Confident operating a range of finishing equipment and materials (vinyls, fabrics, Foamex, Dibond, banners, tension fabric systems)
* Strong organisational skills – able to juggle workloads and deadlines without losing quality
* A clear communicator who can work well with other teams like print, design, and account management
* Someone calm under pressure who can keep things moving when it gets busy
Nice to have
* Experience with SEG sewing or illuminated display assembly
* Forklift, IPAF, PASMA, or H&;S training
This is a great opportunity for someone who knows finishing inside out and wants to lead a team in a busy, growing print environment.
