Sign Design Consultant & Production Specialist

Why This Role Is Great for You

• Learn every aspect of the signage process — from design and consultation to production and fabrication.
• Work directly with business owners and managers on real-world projects that make a visible impact.
• Receive hands-on training on professional sign-making equipment and materials.
• Join a supportive, collaborative workplace that values growth and creativity.

What You’ll Do

• Meet with clients to discuss their signage needs and recommend creative solutions.
• Use Adobe Illustrator and FlexiSign to create sign layouts, proofs, and mockups (limited use of Photoshop).
• Receive full training on FlexiSign if you have strong Illustrator skills.
• Prepare quotes and estimates based on client consultations.
• Learn and operate sign production equipment — including large-format printers, vinyl plotters, and laminators.
• Prior experience with equipment is not required; training provided.
• Communicate effectively with fabricators, installers, and team members to ensure project accuracy.
• Assist with shop duties and materials handling (must be able to lift up to 50 lbs).
• May occasionally work at our Washington, DC location as needed (located about 3 miles away).

Who We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years graphic design experience.
• Signage experience.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Very proficient in Adobe Illustrator (required).
• Strong communication, active listening, and ability to translate client needs into visual concepts.
• Familiarity with FlexiSign preferred — training available.
• Basic understanding of Photoshop for simple edits (not a primary tool).
• Dependable, detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects.
• Ability to quickly learn how to use the equipment to prepare sign graphics for assembly and fabrication (assembly & fabrication is the responsibility of others).
• Primarily based in Silver Spring, with occasional workdays in our DC location. This is subject to change.

Compensation & Benefits

• $20–$24 per hour, based on experience.
• Paid training and development.
• Paid Time Off (PTO).
• 401K with Company Match.
• Supplemental healthcare benefits through Aflac.
