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%.
- 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.
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.
