Senior Designer

Your reason for being here…

Your purpose is to transform people’s experiences by inspiring them with visual creations that will stop them in their tracks, make think and help them never forget.

The way you roll...

You’ve obviously got a burning love for all things ‘design’. You’re quick to understand a brief, mainly because you’re itching to get started, but first your excellent time skills take hold to produce accurate time estimates required to complete the design work.

You’re organised, with a superb eye for detail and a keen focus on consistently providing high service levels. When you pair this with your positive attitude towards challenging situations and multi-tasking skills, you’re unstoppable!

Teamwork makes the dream work, and to help further this amazing team, you have a hunger for new skills and professional development that can’t be tamed. Our philosophy here at DRPG is ‘anything’s possible’, so with that ‘can do’ attitude of yours, you’ll need to be on board with this and going above and beyond.

• Work alongside the design manager/ Print team to develop, instigate and execute new improved ways of working, ideas & equipment
• Contributing to ensuring the company is viewed as a highly creative business
• CPD – keeping up to date with new and emerging design trends ensuring continuous innovation

This list is not exhaustive, and you will be expected to work flexibly and undertake other such duties as the management may from time to time reasonably require.

Get to know us…

We’re one of the most unexpectedly all-round capable communications agencies that’s been on the go for years – ever since our head honcho set up shop in a shed back in 1980, in fact.

Since then, we’ve made it our mission to make anything possible for our many and varied clients, putting our creative flair into delivering strategic communication campaigns, digital solutions, film and videos, events, exhibitions, and a whole lot more in between. We’ve grown a lot, but we’ve kept everything that made us great, back from the very day we first started out. Our global HQ and largest studios are smack bang in the middle of the UK and well worth a visit to see for yourself!

Hang on, there’s more…

The role will be based primarily in Hartlebury, but there will be times when you’ll need to work from our other offices and undertake other related commercial duties both in the UK and overseas. Flexibility is key!

We’re a friendly team. We really, really welcome anyone who wants to become part of a brilliant company. If you’re passionate with a cracking drive to deliver on our ‘anything’s possible’ mindset, we’d love to hear from you!
