Were not looking for just another graphic designer we want a true production professional who loves turning raw materials into high-quality signs that our customers are proud to display. This is a fast-paced, hands-on production role for someone who thrives under real responsibility and takes ownership of their work. If you take pride in your craft, enjoy seeing your signs around town, and want to be part of a shop that values excellence, respect, and continuous improvement, this is a great opportunity.

Why Youll Love Working Here

  • Work with some of the best equipment in the industry : HP Latex printer, UV flatbed printer, CNC router, laser cutter, plotter, and rollover laminator.

  • Perform quality control (check spelling, color, size, and proof match)
  • Install simple signs: door graphics, vehicle wraps, wall/fence mounts, etc.
  • Keep the production area clean and organized (trash, sweep, proper tool storage)
  • Track project records accurately (electronic and paper)
  • Monitor waste, recommend process improvements, and participate in daily production meetings
Who Were Looking For (Non-Negotiables)

  • 3 years of hands-on sign production experience (not primarily graphic design); computer savvy
  • Strong skills in Adobe Illustrator (or very similar vector software) and willingness to learn additional platforms
  • Proven self-starter who works independently with minimal supervision
