About The Position

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. 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.
