Autosport opens today at the NEC, one of the automotive world’s biggest events on the calendar, featuring race cars from all around the world and customisers to follow.

We were tasked by repeat client Redline247 to produce an exhibition stand solution in under 24 hours, opting for shell scheme graphics, designed, printed and fitted by us.

We printed these graphics onto PVC, cut to size to fit into the shell scheme panels. The result is a quick, cost effective solution which can be used or adapted over and over again.

Focusing on in house production from the start of our history has meant constant reinvestment into the latest in print technology, materials and equipment. Coupled with the launch of our mobile graphics fitting service earlier in the year, we are busier than ever and on the hunt for the right candidate to join us and become part of a fast paced and fun environment.

Job Description

Producing graphics, workwear, signs and print for some of the World’s largest brands takes skill, patience and attention to detail. It’s that same skillset we apply to every job that comes through our door, be it for sole traders, charities, schools or government organisations. In an increasingly competitive market, service and quality have to be at the forefront of any offering – we’re proud to offer the fastest turnaround in the UK with nationwide coverage but with a local feel.

We are now seeking to hire a new member to join our print production team to manage our workflow of in house production covering large format print, vinyl graphics, printed workwear and shop/fascia/vehicle signs. The right candidate will hopefully find this new opportunity a challenge to arise to, with an enthusiasm for service and product delivery at the core of day to day work. The gig economy is pushing customer demands for ‘same day’ service in almost every industry and ours is no exception; last minute events, promotions and retail displays are often confirmed last minute with big pressure on deadlines being met. As part of this, being able to work successfully under pressure is absolutely essential – liaising with couriers, suppliers and our clients is a key part of any job we take on, with communication and planning key to our success.

Role

Whilst specific experience is not absolutely essential, it would be beneficial to the successful candidate in being able to step into their new work environment and grasp how we work from day one. We currently utilise several vinyl plotters with a replacement due in early 2018 as well as new wide format printers. The ideal candidate will have experience operating at least vinyl plotters including weeding and backing graphics. We would also welcome someone with vinyl graphic fitting experience as this rapidly becoming an integral part of our business now.

The bulk of the role will be setting up plotter to cut graphics with some basic knowledge of the software and process involved, although this training can be given for the right candidate. Other tasks will entail full signage production – weeding vinyl, applying or backing it and also using clothing vinyl on orders of up to 250 garments at any one time.

Typical job turnaround is a few hours up to a full day with efficiency, minimising waste and understanding of material being key to producing a high quality result, with or without supervision. Where we are unable to produce an order in house, it may fall down to you to work with some of our approved suppliers to buy the job in, ensuring accuracy and deadlines are met.

Any graphic fitting work will take place either on site at our secure unit in Essex or around the country. On site work will also require a good competence in basic Health and Safety when working around vehicles on a busy industrial estate with care for customer’s vehicles and staff at the core of working principles.

Experience

Whilst experience is not absolutely essential, it would strongly benefit the successful candidate in settling in fast within the company. We welcome applications from those with none or limited experience also, stressing that a good grasp of IT, time management and organisation are essential. Full training can be provided for the right candidate.

Brave title for a big topic but let’s run you through why Citiprint are the Leading choice in Print and Signage across the UK.

PRODUCTION

For starters, we produce 90% of our print in house at a purpose production unit meaning total control over quality, efficiency and cost. This saving we can then pass on to you and can keep you updated on your order every step of the way, whether it’s one t-shirt or 1000 banners. We have been constantly reinvesting since day one in better equipment to keep at the forefront of an ever changing market, allowing us to always produce high quality results every time.

SERVICE

When you order with us, no matter what the value of your order, you’ll be given a dedicated account manager who will assist you in choosing the right spec for your print, signage or workwear and will benchmark ourselves against competitors to show how competitive we are on pricing, whilst still delivering unbeatable service. We always aim to give you the same account manager every time you order with us as we love building relationships with our clients and seeing how print can grow their business.

INSTALLATION

We install signage and graphics up and down the country with regular work in the surrounding area, London and other key cities. We strictly don’t outsource any installation so you’ll always have contact with an employee of ours, trained, tested and approved to our strict criteria. You can of course also visit us for graphics installation at our unit where we provide a secure, contained environment for your vehicle or fleet and Netflix, tea/coffee and comfy sofas for you!

SPEED

Faster, faster, faster! In this day and age, we want everything on demand. We can tap our phones and have a taxi arrive at the door or a chinese sent to us in minutes. It’s that ease and speed that we know our clients need and that’s why we’re proud to be the UK’s Fastest Printing Company. We have designed, printed and installed lorry signage in muddy fields overnight at Goodwood Festival of Speed, we’ve produced workwear through the night for Amazon and delivered the next morning 200 miles away and even produced Same Day graphics for a ’60s Ambulance! No job is too big or too small on our fast turnaround. We achieve this by constantly reinvesting and managing our workflow efficiently to give you the best shot at a fast turnaround when you really need it.

PASSION

We’re experienced, passionate and quite knowledgable about print, if we don’t say so ourselves. Ink runs in our blood at Citiprint and we only hire people who share the same enthusiasm and approach as we do. We’re totally different to any other print or sign company, offering in effect a 24/7 service, tons of advice to allow you to make the best informed decision and the highest quality materials as standard. We’ve even cut certain product options from our range as the quality isn’t good enough for us. We’ve tried and tested many suppliers and now deliver the fastest service possible to a growing demand.

So there you have it, that’s 5 reasons why you need us in your life. Now, you just need 1 number – 0203 167 0400.
