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.

Who You Are

• Adobe Native: You live in Illustrator (vectors are your best friend) and know your way around Photoshop layers and masks.

• Tactile & Precise: You enjoy working with your hands. You have the patience to trim a 10-foot banner and the "eye" to spot a bubble in a laminate from across the room.

• Detail-Obsessed: You’re the person who proofreads the menu three times before hitting "Print." Small errors are expensive in large format, so your focus needs to be sharp.

• Team Player: We’re a fast-paced franchise shop. When the workflow shifts, you shift with it without missing a beat.

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll be working directly with me. I’ll show you the ropes of color management, substrate selection, and the engineering of big signs. You won’t just be a "pixel pusher"—you’ll be a creator.
