Graphic Designer/Production Specialist

FASTSIGNS of North Las Vegas is a brand-new FASTSIGNS center. Because we are opening a new location, we operate with a fast-paced "all hands on deck" start-up mentality. We are looking for an energetic, versatile, and hands-on professional to build our business from the ground up as a founding team member. The Reality of the Role: This is not a remote, work-from-home, or strictly sit-at-a-desk design position. This is an active, multi-disciplinary role split across daily responsibilities: 60% Sign Production: Physically making signs, weeding vinyl, operating large-format laminators and printers, and mounting graphics. 40% Graphic Design: Preparing client files for production and creating visual layouts. Physical Installations: Assisting with on-site installations (handling basic hand tools, working on ladders, and occasional outdoor work). Start-Up Drive: When the design queue is quiet, you will proactively organize the shop floor, master equipment, create showroom samples, or support customers. Key Responsibilities Design for Production: Create computer-generated graphics, set cut paths, establish proper bleeds, match Pantone colors, and prepare prepress files. Sign Production: Weed, tape, cut, and apply vinyl; laminate and mount prints to various rigid substrates. Installation Support: Assist on-site with applying window graphics, mounting wall signs, and managing basic hardware setups. Customer & Shop Support: Greet walk-in customers, answer phone calls, consult on projects, and keep the production area clean and organized. Quality Control: Inspect print output and finished assemblies for accuracy, material correctness, and clean finishing before delivery. Qualifications Experience: 1–2 years of graphic design experience (sign shop, quick-print, or print shop experience is a major plus). Software: Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator (Photoshop and InDesign are a plus). Hands-on Skills: Comfort working with hand tools, utility knives, rulers, and precision cutting tools. Mindset: Proactive self-starter who takes initiative during downtime and thrives in a fast-changing environment. Physical Requirements: Ability to stand for extended periods, bend, lift up to 50 lbs, and work on step-stools or step-ladders. Education: High school diploma or equivalent (Required).
