ABOUT THE ROLE

 We are looking for a Colour Matcher to join our Colour Services team and play an important role in ensuring we deliver accurate colour solutions that meet our customers' print requirements.

The role involves accurately matching and analysing colours to meet customer requirements, preparing laboratory proofs, and creating bespoke formulations. You’ll use your knowledge of colour, inks and print processes, alongside digital colour management tools and manual workflow techniques, to ensure colours are matched to the required standard.

Working within a fast-paced and customer-focused environment, you’ll work closely with our Customer Service, Sales, Product Application Technology and Operational teams. The role is an important link between these functions, helping to ensure colour requirements are understood, matched and delivered to our customers.

Don't have previous colour matching experience? That's okay! Full training will be provided on colour matching techniques, as well as the specific systems and applications used within the role.

We're looking for a driven individual to join a new team, someone who demonstrates a collaborative attitude, strong analytical aptitude, excellent attention to detail, and a willingness to learn and develop.

• Prepare laboratory proofs across different substrates, ink technologies and equipment.
• Calculate blended formulations and prepare bespoke formulations in line with enquiry specifications.
• Create products and maintain relevant product information using SAP and other platforms.
• Accurately record, validate, and maintain data across multiple systems and platforms, ensuring information is complete, correct, and entered in a timely manner.
• Provide technical support and act as a primary point of contact for colour-related matters between internal teams, field-based colleagues and customers.
• Maintain a safety-first mindset in all activities, following company procedures, using equipment safely and contributing to our established positive and proactive safety culture
