Candidates of the week - JDA Recruitment
Colour Management/Applications Specialist (Sydney)
Boasting an impeccable pedigree, having worked in senior applications specialist roles with "name" digital pre-press providors in the UK and Australia, he brings a professional and well-informed approach to installing, calibrating, training and trouble-shooting, within pre-press workflow systems.
His expertise covers outputting to both offset or digital (ink-jet) environments.
A technical support virtuoso.
Senior Ops and/or Production Manager (Sydney)
A well regarded and high-profile production and operations manager with a wealth of print experience - not only managing large offset operations, but also in the delicate brain-surgery of merging different plants and cultures under the one-roof. He's done this several times - and always successfully due to his strong people-skills.
He is familiar with large capital acquisitions (incl purchasing 12-colour presses), as well major bindery equipment purchases, and has been involved in improving plant layouts and workflow.
He has successsfully negotiated several peaceful workplace agreements - winning plaudits from both management and workers, alike.
Part of his "secret" of managing the people-function is to "meet and greet" each staff-member every morning - and to know them all on a first-name basis (which gets difficult when you've got over 100 people!) It's worked wonders in best-performance outcomes for his plants - including make-readies on the 12-colour perfector in under 40 minutes!
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a senior ops manager with the tender-touch - achieving productivity and performance KPI's through understanding of the people/plant interaction.
This candidate is not a cost, but an investment in your future.
Senior Sales Executive - Printing Equipment & Pre-Press Software (Sydney)
With a global footprint, this candidate has negotiated major international deals in Europe, S-E Asia and the USA.
Products and services have included imagesetters, proofing and multiplexing systems, plus customised pre-press applications for newspapers and large, global commercial printers.
Formerly a Sales Director with Crosfield for Australia and NZ - you get the message!
Would suit any provider of high-end pre-press workflow systems who's seeking a professional marketer.
Junior Account Mgr/Customer Service Rep (Melbourne)
If you're looking for a keen young lady of pleasant disposition, enthusiastic manner - and a "ready made" understanding of print management and logistics - look no further!
This is the face of the printing industry of tomorrow.
Digital Print Account Manager (Melbourne)
For internal or external sales roles - this is an experienced mover-and-shaker in the digital world of Melbourne's CBD.
With a strong background in digital print production and supervision - he's now applying that expertise to solving client's digital print needs. He knows and understands this market well, including b&w and colour, and wide-format ink-jet.
Recent roles include sales and account management with several large digital print providers.
Mergers & Acquisitions Consultant, Print Industry background (Brisbane)
If your company is considering buying - or selling - or snuggling up to another warm corporate body (you must be over the age of consent and have approval from parent bodies), JDA has a "marriage broker" to legitimise this union.
A former managing director of several large/medium sized commercial printing companies, with a wealth of senior management experience in the UK and Queensland is able to offer independent advice about the how, why and when of selling your business - or buying another.
