Graphic Production Designer

About the role

I’ve been in the large-format game for a long time, and I can tell you this: the best designers are the ones who actually know how their work is built. At FASTSIGNS, we don't just "make files"—we make things. I’m looking for a Junior Designer who wants to learn the industry from the ground up. This role is a hybrid; you’ll be spending your time between the workstation and the production table, making sure our clients walk out the door with exactly what they envisioned. The 45/45/10 Breakdown: 45% Design (The Vision): Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to prep client files, scale layouts for wide-format printing, and create high-impact visuals that work in the real world. 45% Production (The Build): This is where the sweat happens. You’ll be weeding vinyl, laminating prints, and mounting graphics. Precision is everything here. You must be able to use a table ruler and an X-Acto knife to make flawless, straight cuts. If you're off by a hair, we start over. 10% The "Whatever It Takes" (The Goal): This is the secret sauce for customer satisfaction. Whether it’s jumping on a phone call to clarify a color, helping a teammate load a heavy roll of media, or doing a final quality check to ensure a sign is spotless—you do what’s needed to get the job done right.
