Graphic Designer-Sign Industry
Saltwater Signworks, Wilmington, NC, United States
We are hiring an Experienced Sign Industry Graphic Designer — and this is NOT an entry-level or general design role.
Saltwater Signworks is a fast-growing, high-volume sign company known for producing clean, sharp, and creative signage . We are looking for someone who can move quickly, think clearly, and execute accurately — while still bringing a strong design eye to the table.
⚠️ If you do not have real sign industry experience, this is not the role for you.
What you MUST have
Minimum 3+ years designing signage (monument signs, channel letters, cabinet signs, post & panel, etc.)
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator (required)
Proven experience creating
Client proofs
Scaled drawings
Permit / submittal-ready drawings
Strong understanding of sign construction, materials, and layout requirements
Ability to work fast, accurately, and independently in a high-volume environment
What makes this role different
We are not a “template shop.”
We value designers who can:
Add creative input when it matters
Elevate layouts beyond the basic standard
Still keep projects moving without overcomplicating the work
Bonus (not required)
Experience preparing production-ready files
Familiarity with fabrication and installation processes
This role is NOT for
General graphic designers without signage experience
Logo/branding-only designers
Entry-level applicants
If you’ve worked in a real sign shop, you know the pace — and you know the difference between designing and getting projects approved and built.
Apply only if you can do both.
