He as known for his etchings and drypoints, producing over 75.[2] Many of these depicted places in France or Italy.[2]

His paintings are in a number of public collections, including those of Manchester Art Gallery,[4] the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery[1] the Royal Watercolour Society,[1] the Art Institute of Chicago,[5] the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,[6] the Auckland Art Gallery,[7] and the National Gallery of Victoria.[8]
He died in 1938.[1][2]
In a review of a 1972 exhibition by fellow Staffordshire-born engraver Geoffrey Heath Wedgwood, Edward Morris wrote:[9]
Wedgwood was one of the first pupils to be able to study engraving alone for his diploma [at the RCA] and he profited from the vigorous manner of Job Nixon [1891–1938] rather than from the more refined, delicate approach of the Professor, Sir Frank Short.
