The Company:

Peterkin is a family owned and run Premium Paper & Envelope Wholesaler/Manufacturer and Trade Printery established in 1996. We're a specialist trade printer & paper product supplier predominately to the wedding invitation industry & sell our products direct to the consumer via our eCommerce website. Our niche is combining vintage print processes with modern print methods, allowing us to produce incredible pieces for our design clients.

In addition, we're the direct importer and distributor of some of the most beautiful specialty papers from around the globe and the only operating envelope manufacturer in WA. We believe in hiring talented individuals who know more about their field than we do, then working with them to bring out their talents.

THE ROLE

In this action-packed role, you could be doing any (or all) these tasks - just not all at once!

• Check emails for customer enquiries - answer what you can, forward onto Customer Service for quotes. Mostly it's just customers enquiring about ETA's on their jobs and checking artwork guidelines and setup requirements which we can quickly and easily resolve).

• Download artwork for online orders, save files & check for suitability (correct size & resolution and identify potential issues such as borders, solid toner backgrounds etc.).

• Contact customers via email or telephone regarding any issues with suitability of supplied artwork files, including any potential print issues that we can foresee (we don't want to produce anything short of perfection of course!)

• Set up and impose artwork for die cutting and finishing using Quite Imposing Plus, FreeFlow Core automations and hot folders.

• Imposing die lines using Adobe Illustrator for digital die cutter.

• Inspect & prepare artwork for letterpress/foiling/embossing and also place orders for negatives and plates through our preferred suppliers

• Prepare jobs and paperwork for our letterpress, hot foil press and embossing operators

• Process digital print jobs.

• Co-ordinate duplexing of stock for digital, letterpress & foiling jobs

What we're looking for in YOU:

• Great, I mean AWESOME customer service skills - we love our customers, without them, there would be no us!

• Graphic design knowledge - Adobe InDesign / Illustrator / Photoshop / Adobe Acrobat (but a GD degree isn't essential)

• An understanding of digital print processes & Command Workstation (we can teach you about foil press, letterpress and embossing)

• Ability to identify & spot potential issues in client supplied artwork (eg solid coloured backgrounds, low resolution images, borders close to edge, fine or small text & even the odd typo or spelling error)

• Yes, that's an INCREDIBLY keen eye for detail (and errors!)

• Enthusiasm!!!!!!

• Can do attitude

• A happy disposition

• Multi-tasking talents - but not talking and eating, we don't want to see that

• A genuine drive to be part of a dynamic, growing business.

• A desire to work with competent individuals you can rely on (and laugh with)

• A need to have your opinions truly taken on board and valued by the owners and be part of the direction of the business

• A desire for work/life balance – we finish at 4pm (woohoo)

• A desire to work close to the city, but not in the city so you can drive your car and park for free

ESSENTIAL:

• Sense of humour!

• Ability to cope with the odd swear word 🙊

• Great communication skills

• The ability to work well as part of a tight-knit team

• Ability to multi-task

If this sounds like you and we sound like your people, then we'd love to hear from you - NOW!
