What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Artist position at Dunn&Co.?
About Dunn&Co.
Dunn&Co. is one of the Southeast’s top creative, branding, and advertising agencies. We’re a full-service shop delivering award-winning marketing solutions across industries including sports, food & beverage, tourism, financial services, and healthcare.
About the Role
We’re seeking a detail-obsessed mechanical artist to support our in-house design team during active project periods. You should have a deep appreciation for precision, a calm confidence in production workflows, and an almost supernatural ability to spot a one-pixel misalignment from across the room.
The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative creative environment, enjoys bringing order to creative chaos, and takes pride in making files flawless and release-ready. You’ll support designers by prepping, versioning, and quality-checking files, ensuring consistency with brand standards, color accuracy, and printer specifications. You’re comfortable with the technical side of the craft (retouching, clipping paths, and art manipulation), and you approach every task with patience, professionalism, and a problem-solving mindset. You’re a team player who listens well, communicates clearly, and leaves the ego at the door.
