You'll have the opportunity to connect and engage with clients and team members while sharing knowledge and new ideas with the wider creative team. You'll add value to project documentation by creating compelling graphics such as covers/spines/CD labels, flow charts, maps, cross-sections (applying labels to CAD drawings), document layouts, infographics, and interactive elements for technical project reports, presentations, and some marketing deliverables.

Applicants must provide either a portfolio link or PDF samples of work that highlight your work in layout, graphics and presentation.

This is a non-exempt, hourly paid position.
