🚀 Role Summary

• This contract role focuses on creating visually compelling and technically accurate marketing collateral, including brochures, sell sheets, and trade show materials, for a B2B industrial coatings company.

• The position requires the creation of detailed technical illustrations, such as cross-sections and exploded views, to clearly communicate product features and application processes to engineering and sales teams.

• Responsibilities extend to developing engaging digital content, including social media posts, simple motion graphics, and short animated explainer videos, to enhance online presence and product understanding.

• The role demands strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and InDesign, with a proven ability to translate complex technical information into easily digestible visual assets.

📝 Enhancement Note: While the title is "Graphic Designer," the core responsibilities heavily lean into technical illustration and B2B industrial marketing. The "operations" aspect of this role lies in the operational efficiency of creating clear, accurate, and on-brand marketing and technical documentation that supports Corrocoat USA's sales and product development processes. The contract nature suggests a need for self-management and project scoping skills.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Design and produce high-quality product and capability brochures, sell sheets, case-study layouts, and trade-show materials, ensuring strict adherence to brand guidelines and technical accuracy.

• Create clean, precise technical sketches and cross-sections, including coating-layer build-ups, tank and vessel linings, pipe sections, pump internals, and structural steel details, suitable for use by engineers and sales teams.

• Develop social media content for platforms like LinkedIn, producing static posts, carousels, simple motion graphics, and reusable campaign templates.

• Produce short animated videos (15-60 seconds) for product explainers, process sequences, and coating-system animations, working from site footage, photos, and technical notes.

• Translate raw photos, datasheets, engineering input, and verbal briefings into finished, print-ready and web-ready files that maintain technical precision alongside aesthetic polish.

• Manage file hygiene meticulously, including layered source files, print specifications, web exports, and maintaining version control for all created assets.

• Communicate effectively with the Director of Corrocoat USA / Marketing, providing realistic estimates and quoting both hourly and project-based work.

• Participate in scheduled calls during U.S. Eastern Time to ensure seamless collaboration and project alignment.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities highlight a need for not just creative design but also a deep understanding of industrial processes and the ability to represent them accurately visually. This implies a need for a designer who can quickly grasp technical concepts and communicate them effectively, a key operational skill in B2B technical marketing.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: While no specific degree is listed, a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, or a related field is typically expected for roles requiring this level of technical illustration and brand management. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.

Experience: Minimum of 2-5 years of professional graphic design experience, with a significant portion focused on B2B industrial, manufacturing, engineering, coatings, oil and gas, or similarly technical sectors.

• Proven experience designing for B2B industrial, manufacturing, engineering, coatings, oil and gas, or related technical industries.

• Ability to work effectively from rough sketches, site photos, product data sheets, and verbal briefings.

• Excellent file management skills, including clean layering, proper print/web export settings, and version control.

📝 Enhancement Note: The emphasis on specific Adobe Suite tools and the preference for experience in technical sectors are critical for operations success in this role. The ability to interpret engineering drawings and communicate with technical reviewers points to a need for a designer who can integrate seamlessly into a technically-minded team and contribute to operational efficiency by reducing revision cycles.
