A screen-print technician operates printing machines, prepares screens, mixes inks, and ensures accurate, high-quality prints on various materials. Key tasks include managing inventory, maintaining equipment, troubleshooting issues, and meeting deadlines with precision and attention to detail.

In a hands-on maintenance role for a heritage building, I managed tenant care, administration, and heavy lifting, developing strong time management skills and the ability to work independently. I efficiently handled tasks and responded to on-site emergencies, taking on handyman responsibilities as needed. Additionally, as an in-house graphic designer for the same heritage studio, I maintained the company’s visual identity by designing and updating social media and print content, ensuring all materials reflected the property’s historical significance.

A practical hands role where I have been working as a studio hand on large scale sculpture pieces. Developing my own set of practical art skills, the importance in cooperation in time sensitive work and supporting to help produce artwork coming to life.

At APG Works, Sheffield framing and screen printing studio, a UI/UX designer – web developer role. I also supported artist prints and workshop days, using my graphic design experience.

At Bowland Stone, I disassembled solidified concrete crates using tools and equipment, and arranged slabs on pallets for efficient transport. This required precision in handling heavy materials, adherence to production standards, and ensuring proper pallet stacking for safe transport. The role demanded technical attention to safety protocols, equipment use, and maintaining efficiency under tight deadlines.
