Graphic Designer/Production Specialist

About Us

FASTSIGNS of Pleasant Hills, PA is a brand-new FASTSIGNS center! Because we are a brand-new location, we operate with a fast-paced, "all hands on deck" start-up mentality. We are looking for an energetic, versatile, and proactive professional to help us build our business from the ground up.

What are you signing up for?

This is not a remote, work-from-home, or strictly sit-at-a-desk design agency job. This is a fully on-site, highly active role:

• 60% Hands-On Production: You will be physically making the signs—weeding vinyl, operating large-format laminators and printers, and mounting graphics.
• 40% Graphic Design: You will be preparing client files for production and creating layouts.
• Physical Installations: You will assist with basic physical installations, which includes handling tools, standing on ladders, and occasionally working outdoors.
• Start-Up Drive: In a brand-new shop, when the design queue is quiet, you will proactively help with organizing the shop, mastering equipment, making showroom samples, or assisting customers.

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive Pay
• Paid Vacation and Holidays
• Performance Bonus
• Ongoing Professional Training Opportunities
• Be a founding team member of a brand-new center!

What You Will Do?

• Design for Production: Create computer-generated graphics, set up cut paths, establish proper bleeds, match Pantone colors, and prepare files perfectly for output.
• Sign Production: Weed, tape, cut, and apply vinyl; laminate and mount prints to various rigid substrates.
• Active Installation: Assist on-site with applying window graphics, mounting wall signs, and managing basic physical installations.
• "All Hands on Deck" Support: Answer phones, greet walk-in customers, consult on projects, and keep the production floor organized and clean.
• Quality Control: Inspect physical jobs for accuracy before delivery. Ensure correct materials are used and machine settings are precise.

Ideal Qualifications

• Experience: 1–2 years of graphic design experience (experience in a sign shop or quick-print environment is a massive plus).
• Software: Highly proficient in Adobe Illustrator (InDesign and Photoshop are also helpful).
• Tactile Skills: Experience working with your hands, using precise cutting tools (Exacto knives, rulers), or using basic hand tools.
• Mindset: A self-starter who thrives in an unstructured, fast-changing environment, always thinking about opportunities to improve themselves and their center.
• Physical Ability: Able to stand, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs, work on step-stools/ladders, and view a screen for extended periods.
• Education: High School diploma or equivalent.
