Jacobs seeks an experienced Graphic Designer to join our Creative Solutions team to support Growth & Sales Europe. This position offers a flexible combination of remote and in-office support based on our current environment, client needs, candidate location and ability to work independently. Candidates will have the ability to connect to one of our three hub offices; London, Glasgow or Cork/Dublin.
The Graphic Designer will be a proactive team player, excited and ready to engage on a multitude of projects with various teams on a local, national level and regional basis, focusing on the design and development of both client facing projects and proposals and supporting graphics, presentations, and positioning materials – from concept to completion. Must have proven skills with Adobe CS software (primarily InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) and strong presentation development experience (primarily PowerPoint). Previous Architectural, Engineering & Construction (AEC) and/or Proposal and Sales experience would be of benefit.
Scope exists for you to develop your career within this exciting role, so an appetite to learn and develop through both internal training and your own self-initiative is essential.
Communication within this role is paramount. We want you to feel part of a growing business, so having the confidence to deliver your thoughts and ideas to team members and the wider business is essential. As a lateral thinker, you will be willing to push the boundaries and challenge design decisions whilst recognising and appreciating potential constraints. We particularly welcome applications from diverse backgrounds, in our effort to recruit diverse thought and experience to challenge the status quo.
