Graphic Designer – Sign & Print Production Signarama North Olmsted

The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Graphic Designer who understands production. You won't just be making things look good — you'll be making sure they're built right.

Day to day, you'll be designing signage layouts, preparing production-ready files, operating large-format printers and vinyl plotters, and lightly supporting the production floor during busy periods. You'll also communicate directly with clients on approvals and revisions, and own jobs from file receipt through final output.

Signage design is different from web or social media work. Files must be technically correct, scalable, and fabrication-ready. That standard is non-negotiable here.

Responsibilities

Create layouts for channel letters, monument signs, window graphics, wall wraps, vehicle graphics, and more

Prepare and verify print-ready artwork for large-format production

Identify and correct client-supplied file issues — PDFs, Word docs, and low-res images are not production-ready; catching that early is part of the job

Run and maintain wide-format printers (training provided if needed)

Perform vinyl cutting, laminating, trimming, and panel mounting

Manage multiple active jobs simultaneously and hit deadlines

Collaborate with production staff and flag problems before they reach the floor

Required Skills

Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator

Solid understanding of vector artwork, large-scale formatting, and print file setup

Ability to identify raster vs. vector issues and resolve them

Experience with typography and layout for physical applications

Strong time management — you\'ll run your own workload without hand-holding

Clear communicator with both clients and teammates

Preferred but Not Required

Experience in a sign shop or print production environment

Familiarity with Flexi, CorelDRAW, or RIP software

Experience operating large-format printers or vinyl cutters

Understanding of color matching, material substrates, and finishing

What We're Looking For
Someone who takes ownership. Moves with urgency. Thinks ahead about how something will actually get built — not just how it looks on screen. Catches problems early. Doesn't need constant direction. And understands that in a small business, flexibility isn't optional.

Compensation
Competitive pay based on experience. Real growth opportunity as we scale.
