Role Description This role is primarily a technical design and production position focused on creating accurate, build-able signage drawings for both interior and exterior applications. While there is a creative component, the majority of the work involves translating established brand standards, client requirements, and regulatory constraints into precise, production-ready designs. You will work at the intersection of design, engineering, and fabrication, ensuring that all concepts are not only visually aligned but also structurally sound, code-compliant, and executable in the real world. Key Responsibilities - Prepare detailed 2D signage layouts, and production-ready files using CorelDRAW and other design tools - Translate client brand guidelines, interior/exterior finishes, and specifications into accurate, build-able sign designs - Ensure all designs meet ADA requirements, local codes, and project-specific compliance standards - Collaborate with project managers, clients, and production teams to ensure feasibility and accuracy - Based on feedback, site conditions and project changes update design layouts, sign location maps & our custom database to ensure each sign system is developed accurately - Maintain consistent drawing standards, templates, and file organization practices - Develop & reconcile large quantity projects using our custom database system - Support material selection and ensure designs align with fabrication methods and installation requirements - Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting tight deadlines - Produce work efficiently with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail What This Role is (and isn’t): This is not a traditional graphic design role. Approximately 90% of the work is technical and execution focused. Creativity plays a role, but designs are often constrained by client standards, compliance requirements, and real-world conditions. Success in this role comes from precision, speed, problem-solving, and the ability to design signage that can be fabricated and installed without issue. Qualifications - Thrives in a high-volume, fast-paced environment - Highly detail-oriented with a strong focus on accuracy - Able to balance speed with precision across multiple active projects - Strong problem-solver who can think through real-world production constraints - Comfortable working within defined guidelines and limited creative flexibility - Communicates clearly and professionally with team members and clients - Highly organized and able to manage shifting priorities Requirements - 3+ years of experience in sign design, environmental graphics, or related field - Proven experience designing interior and/or exterior signage systems - Strong understanding of signage materials, fabrication methods, and installation considerations - Familiarity with ADA and other regulatory requirements is highly preferred Benefits - Health Insurance - Dental Insurance - Vision Insurance - Retirement benefits (401K) matching - Paid Vacation - Paid holidays - Company paid Long Term Disability (LTD) - NH Paid Family Medical Leave - NH Residents only
