Launch Your Design Career in a Hands-On Creative Role
AlphaGraphics is hiring an Entry-Level Graphic Designer / Print Production Technician to join our fast-paced, hands-on team. This role is ideal for a recent Graphic Design graduate or early-career designer who wants to build real-world experience in both design/prepress and print production. You’ll use Adobe Creative Suite, prepare customer files for production, operate digital print equipment, and help bring a wide variety of projects to life.

AlphaGraphics is a fast-paced, family-oriented marketing services, print and sign company where every day brings something different. We produce marketing services, signs, event graphics, business printing, and promotional products that help our customers bring their ideas to life.
We’re looking for a recent Graphic Design graduate, or an early-career designer with a strong portfolio, who wants more than a traditional entry-level design job. This role offers the chance to build real-world experience in both design/prepress and print production — making it a great fit for someone who enjoys creative problem-solving and hands-on work.
If you want to sharpen your Adobe skills, learn how files move from concept to finished product, and grow in a supportive team environment, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do
In this role, you’ll split your time between design/prepress work and hands-on print production.
Design / Prepress Responsibilities
Review customer artwork and identify file issues before production
Correct, adjust, and prepare files for print output
Create proofs and production-ready layouts for signs, print materials, graphics, and promotional products
Use Adobe Creative Suite to build accurate, organized, production-friendly files
Help ensure jobs move smoothly from design concept to final production
Print Production Responsibilities
Operate commercial digital printers for color and black-and-white jobs
Use finishing equipment such as cutters, laminators, and bindery tools
Perform basic machine maintenance, troubleshooting, and color calibration
Inspect finished products for quality and accuracy
Package completed jobs and prepare orders for delivery or shipping
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design preferred
Associate degree in Graphic Design considered with a strong portfolio
Portfolio required for consideration
Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat
Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
Organized, dependable, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Positive attitude, willingness to learn, and resourceful approach to problem-solving
Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for extended periods
Why Join AlphaGraphics?
Gain real-world experience in both creative design and print production
Build practical skills that make you more versatile and valuable than a typical entry-level designer
Work on a wide variety of projects — no two days are the same
Join a supportive, team-oriented environment where your contributions matter
Grow into future opportunities such as Production Artist, Graphic Designer, or other print/sign industry roles
How to Apply
Please send your resume and portfolio to be considered for this position.
