Senior Conceptual Sign Designer

OnSite Sign Group Inc. • Edmonton, AB

32d • Hybrid

About The Position

Onsite Sign is looking for an experienced Sign Designer with a creative eye and a strong technical understanding of commercial signage. This is not a production drafting or fabrication role. You'll work directly with our sales team to develop creative sign concepts that excite customers while ensuring each design is technically achievable from the very beginning. We are looking for someone who understands that great design is more than creating something on a computer screen, but you will know how signs are manufactured and installed, and able to recognize when a logo, font, or concept will present challenges before a project reaches production. Strong knowledge of commercial sign construction is essential including extrusions, scaling, structural considerations, and methods of attachment, with the ability to communicate concepts through dimensional layouts and side profiles, using CorelDRAW. Because this role works hand-in-hand with our sales team, you'll need to be comfortable participating in regular phone calls and Microsoft Teams meetings to discuss customer needs, develop concepts, and collaborate throughout the design process. We're looking for someone who enjoys being part of the conversation and can confidently contribute ideas, not someone who simply receives a work order and sends back a drawing. At Onsite Sign Group, you'll see your concepts become reality. Our design, manufacturing, and installation teams work together every day, giving you the opportunity to create impactful signage for customers across Western Canada while working with one of the region's most respected custom sign manufacturers.

Requirements

• Several Years of commercial sign design experience.
• Advanced CorelDRAW skills
• A strong creative eye with an understanding of branding and architectural design
• Technical knowledge of sign manufacturing
• The ability to balance creativity with practical, buildable solutions
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Responsibilities

• Develop creative sign concepts that excite customers.
• Ensure designs are technically achievable from the beginning.
• Understand how signs are manufactured and installed.
• Recognize potential challenges with logos, fonts, or concepts before production.
• Communicate concepts through dimensional layouts and side profiles.
• Participate in regular phone calls and Microsoft Teams meetings to discuss customer needs, develop concepts, and collaborate.
• Contribute ideas and be part of the conversation, not just receive work orders.
