The Opportunity: Where Digital Design Meets Physical Build

Are you a "Maker" who loves seeing your digital work turn into a physical reality? At FASTSIGNS/Pittsburgh, we are looking for a Sign Production Artist who is equal parts technical designer and hands-on fabricator.

This isn't a "sit-at-a-desk-all-day" graphic design job. You are the heartbeat of our shop-the person who takes a vision, pre-flights the files, and uses high-tech machinery to build world-class signage. If you have a "perfectionist" eye for detail and love working with your hands, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

  • The "Pre-Flight" Expert: Use Adobe Illustrator to prepare files for production, ensuring cut paths, bleed, and color profiles are perfect before they hit the machines.

  • Precision Fabrication: Operate our fleet of high-end equipment, including flatbed printers, CNC routers/cutters, and large-format laminators.

  • The Craft of Signs: Master the art of vinyl application-from weeding and masking to applying graphics onto various substrates (acrylic, metal, PVC) without a single bubble or spec of dust.

  • Quality Commander: Perform rigorous Quality Assurance. You are the final set of eyes. If an edge is ragged or a color is off, it doesn't leave your station.

  • Shop Synergy: Maintain a clean, organized, and "lean" production environment. Perform basic machine maintenance to keep our tech running at 100%.

Who You Are (Requirements)

  • Illustrator Pro: You don't just "know" Illustrator; you understand vector paths, layers, and how to prep files for a plotter or router.

  • Mechanical Aptitude: You are comfortable with light power tools and have the "hand-eye coordination" required for steady vinyl application.

  • Detail Obsessed: You notice the 1/16th-of-an-inch difference. You pride yourself on "clean" work and hate wasted material.

  • Physicality: Ability to stand for the workday, lean over waist-high production tables, and lift up to 50 lbs.

  • Growth Mindset: You want to master new machines and software. We provide the training; you provide the drive.

Why Join FASTSIGNS?

We offer more than just a paycheck-we offer a career path in a stable, growing industry:

  • Advanced Training: Access to our Online University to master new fabrication techniques.

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution.

  • Retirement Security: Simple IRA with Company Match.

  • Work-Life Balance: Consistent Monday-Friday schedule with Paid Holidays and Accrued PTO.
