• 2+ years of relevant professional experience, preferably within prepress, graphic production, printing or a manufacturing environment

• A strong interest in technical solutions and hands-on problem-solving 

• The ability to work in a structured way, follow processes and maintain an overview across several tasks and priorities 

• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills, enabling you to work effectively across design, engineering, testing and production
