Scope of the Role:

Collaborative. Positive. Respectful. Organised. Exceptional People Skills.

The Echo Group is a creative and service led organisation leading the industry of luxury retail display, digital content creation and experiential site delivery.

The Acrylic Fabricator – Luxury Retail is responsible for producing high-end acrylic and plastic components for premium cosmetics, fashion, and luxury retail environments. The role demands exceptional attention to detail, flawless finishing, and an understanding of brand-led design, delivering components suitable for customer-facing, design-critical installations.

The nature of our industry is that working ad hoc additional hours, or out of normal working hours, can be expected as a normal function of this role. Paid overtime, or time in lieu, is not provided for this. The leadership team of Echo House remain committed to limiting the extent and potential impact of this, for all individuals at Echo.

Echo is a fast-paced, and often highly pressured, design and production house working within one of the most demanding and rewarding creative industries in the world. Positivity is key in everything we do. Whether you’re collaborating with colleagues, communicating with clients or focusing on the task at hand, our approach is to always remain constructive. Flexibility, responsiveness and a cool calm head are essential in maintaining effective and efficient work delivery as circumstances change and evolve rapidly. Respecting each other’s contribution is essential as we believe every individual has something to offer, and the key to being successful at Echo is an ability and willingness to collaborate and deliver results.
