This role will see you play a key role in our Global Colour Team - and not only will you have the opportunity to support the ongoing centralisation of the team, and drive continuous improvement across all areas of our work, but you will also have the opportunity to flex your developing leadership muscles too, as you take on the day to day management of a small team of dedicated specialists.

In this role you will:

• Troubleshoot plate & print issues
• Work directly with printers and end user accounts when print results are not as expected
• Work with other Global Colour Team members to implement and drive standardization, centralization, and globalization across the business
• Prepare training materials, and provide training to the internal team
• Document SOP’s for new processes and corrective actions
• Lead and support technical projects, and project teams
