What are the responsibilities and job description for the Design and Production Specialist position at FASTSIGNS of Quincy?
The Role in a Nutshell
Are you a creative problem-solver who loves seeing your designs come to life in the real world? At FASTSIGNS of Cape Cod, we don't just sit behind a screen—we build brands. We are looking for a Designer / Production Specialist who can handle the "click" of the mouse and the "thwack" of the squeegee. You’ll be responsible for taking a project from a client’s rough idea to a finished, high-quality physical product.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design & Pre-Press: Creating layouts, logos, and print-ready files using Adobe Creative Suite. You’ll ensure everything is scaled correctly and colors are spot-on.
- Production & Assembly: Operating large-format printers, cutters, and laminators. This includes weeding vinyl, applying graphics to various substrates (aluminum, PVC, acrylic), and finishing banners.
- Quality Control: Being the final set of eyes. If a sign isn't perfect, it doesn't leave the shop.
- Collaboration: Working closely with the sales team and the Center Manager to meet tight deadlines and keep our Cape Cod clients happy.
What We’re Looking For
- Software Chops: Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator is a must. Photoshop and InDesign are big pluses.
- Mechanical Aptitude: You’re comfortable working with your hands, using tools (exacto knives, tape measures, power drills), and standing for long periods.
- Detail Obsession: You notice when a font is slightly "off" or a bubble is under the vinyl.
- Adaptability: The Cape season can get busy! You need to be able to pivot between multiple projects without losing your cool.
Bonus Points For:
- Previous experience in the sign industry or wide-format printing.
- Knowledge of vehicle wrap installation.
- A portfolio that shows both digital design and physical builds.
Why Join FASTSIGNS of Cape Cod?
- Variety: No two days are the same. One day you're designing a menu board, the next you're laying up Vinyl Graphics.
- Local Impact: You’ll see your work all over the Cape—from the bridges to Provincetown.
- Team Environment: We’re a fast-moving, supportive crew that values "getting it done right."
