Junior Graphic Designer at SMD Technologies

Junior Graphic Designer

About the Role:

  • If your happy place is somewhere between a colour swatch book and a perfectly folded box dieline, we’ve got the job for you. We’re looking for a passionate, imaginative Junior Graphic Designer who loves nothing more than bringing bold, beautiful packaging and in-store visuals to life.
  • From eye-catching posters to smart shelf-talkers and irresistible packaging, you’ll take concepts and run with them — creating artwork that looks just as good on the shelf as it does in your portfolio.
  • You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, high-output environment where every week brings something new — and always make sure the final product is as good as the idea that sparked it.

Responsibilities:

  • Designing packaging, POS, flyers, posters, and catalogues that make people stop and stare (in the best way)
  • Developing concepts from scratch and seeing them through to print-ready perfection Working closely with DTP and production teams to ensure flawless handover to print
  • Collaborating with marketing, brand, and product teams to bring campaigns to life Managing multiple projects with confidence, clarity, and a well-organised artboard
  • Applying brand guidelines creatively and consistently across formats and product lines
  • Staying up to date with packaging, retail and design trends (because you’re that kind of person)

Requirements

  • A relevant qualification (Graphic Design, Communication Design, or similar)
  • A polished portfolio that showcases packaging and POS work (and makes us go “ooh!”)
  • Excellent Adobe Creative Suite skills — especially Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
  • Solid understanding of print processes, packaging mechanics, and large-format specs
  • Exceptional layout skills and an eye for visual hierarchy, balance, and storytelling
  • Strong time management — you can handle fast turnarounds without dropping the ball
  • Bonus: experience with FMCG, retail, or high-volume catalogue production, no worries if you’re still learning, just show us you know what you’re doing with a simple skill test.
