Location: Skelmersdale (on-site)
Salary: Around £35,000 (depending on experience)
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm

Are you an experienced finishing professional looking to step into a management role? Or maybe you’re already leading a team and fancy a fresh challenge? This role could be spot on.

They are a well established large format print and signage business with plenty of growth happening. Right now, they need someone to take charge of the finishing department – planning workloads, keeping quality high, and making sure jobs leave the building on time.

What you’ll be doing

• Running the day to day in finishing, from scheduling through to dispatch

• Supervising and developing a team of finishers – training, rotas, and keeping everyone on track

• Getting hands on with kit like automated cutters (Zünd/Kongsberg or similar), laminators, sewing machines, and mounting tables

• Making sure jobs are trimmed, mounted, hemmed, eyeletted, and packaged to a top standard

• Keeping the department safe, organised, and efficient – always looking for ways to improve

What they’re looking for

• Solid experience in large format print/signage finishing, ideally with some management responsibility already

• Confident operating a range of finishing equipment and materials (vinyls, fabrics, Foamex, Dibond, banners, tension fabric systems)

• Strong organisational skills – able to juggle workloads and deadlines without losing quality

• A clear communicator who can work well with other teams like print, design, and account management

• Someone calm under pressure who can keep things moving when it gets busy

Nice to have

• Experience with SEG sewing or illuminated display assembly

• Forklift, IPAF, PASMA, or H&S training

This is a great opportunity for someone who knows finishing inside out and wants to lead a team in a busy, growing print environment.
