Reprographics & CAD Technician
£35,000 + Bonus | 26 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
Monday to Friday 8:00AM – 4:00PM or 9:00AM – 5:00PM, 1 hour lunch.
This is Full-time, permanent role which is studio based.
A well-established folding carton packaging manufacturer is growing its pre-press studio and is looking for an experienced Reprographics & CAD Technician to join the team.
This is a growth role, not a firefighting one. You will be working in a studio environment reporting to the Studio Manager, with the time and support to do the job properly working to the highest quality standards.
The Role
The position is repro-led, with CAD forming the second half of the job. You'll spend the majority of your time as an art worker rather than on plate production. Day to day you'll be:
* Preparing, amending & verifying customer artwork for lithographic carton production
* Creating and maintaining dielines and packaging layouts in ArtiosCAD — both from scratch and from customer-supplied files
* Carrying out trapping, step-and-repeat and imposition
* Running barcode verification, artwork compliance and colour management checks
* Preparing proofs and managing the approval process
* Supporting CTP and plate production workflows
* Liaising with designers, brand owners & internal production teams (you'll have Account Managers alongside you, so this is technical liaison rather than account handling)
* Document control, file management and revision history
* Contributing to continuous improvement within the department
What We're Looking For
* Proven reprographics or pre-press experience, ideally from a folding carton, sample-making or wider packaging background
* Strong working knowledge of Esko, ArtPro+ & Adobe suite (Illustrator & Photoshop) — these are the core requirement
* Experience with ArtiosCAD, or a similar packaging CAD system
* Familiarity with GlobalVision or equivalent verification software (training available)
* Sound understanding of the litho print process as applied to carton production
* Confident with Pantone, ICC profiles, spot colour builds and brand guidelines
* Genuinely detail-driven
* Strong organisational skills and a calm, methodical approach to deadlines
This role would also suit a Packaging Technologist with strong artwork and CAD exposure looking to move into a dedicated repro position.
What's On Offer
* £35,000, with flexibility for candidates who bring more to the table
* Company bonus structure
* 26 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
* Monday to Friday days, no shifts or weekend working
* 100% office based — no travel to client sites
* Genuine training & development, with the chance to grow within an expanding department
* Supportive studio team under an experienced Studio Manager
This is a great opportunity to join a growing and well known brand.
