  • Ideally, you will have experience of subbing news and features for a fast-paced B2B publication
  • The role includes sub-editing and fact-checking, so both a keen eye and sharp mind will be essential, as you will typically be the last person to touch a story before publication
  • You will also require the confidence to question reporters and editors whenever copy is unclear
  • Basic layout skills would be an asset, as would an eye for effective picture selection
  • An interest in the built environment or experience with a technical, financial or business publication would be useful
