Associate – Environmental Design

AmTab Manufacturing CoBensenville, IL

About The Position

At AmTab Manufacturing Corporation, we don’t just make learning environments — we make them matter. Our mission is to build student-first spaces that transform how K–12 schools function, feel, and flourish. Every cafeteria, commons, and collaboration area we touch becomes a stage for creativity, inclusion, and energy. As a minority-owned, 100% made-in-the-USA company, AmTab is proud to own our design, manufacturing, and installation process from start to finish. We’re looking for a designer who doesn’t just shape walls — they shape experiences. If that’s you, read on. As an Associate – Environmental Design, you’ll bring brand, culture, and community identity to life through large-format graphics, signage, murals, and visual storytelling elements that personalize K–12 learning spaces. Sitting within the Office Work Group, this role bridges graphic design, interior aesthetics, and architectural branding — infusing meaning and emotion into every square foot we furnish. This isn’t marketing. This is environmental transformation — and you’ll be at the heart of it.
