What are the responsibilities and job description for the Graphic Designer-Sign Industry position at Saltwater Signworks?
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
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
- Experience preparing production-ready files
- Familiarity with fabrication and installation processes
- 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.
