Do you have strong Adobe Illustrator skills, an eye for design, and a desire to grow in a
hands-on, creative career? At Signarama Silver Spring/DC North, we’re looking for a
motivated Sign Design Consultant to join our team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with 2–3 years of work experience, including 1–2
years in graphic design or sign production, who wants to expand their skills into client
consultation, estimating, and light production.
This position is ideal for someone in the early stages of their signage or graphic design
career who’s looking to expand their skills in client consultation and production. If you
already have extensive industry experience or advanced design education, this role may not
provide the level of challenge or compensation you’re seeking.
What You’ll Do
- Meet with clients to discuss their signage needs and recommend creative solutions.
- Use Adobe Illustrator and FlexiSign to create sign layouts, proofs, and mockups (limited use of Photoshop).
- Receive full training on FlexiSign if you have strong Illustrator skills.
- Prepare quotes and estimates based on client consultations.
- Learn and operate sign production equipment — including large-format printers, vinyl plotters, and laminators.
- Prior experience with equipment is not required; training provided.
- Communicate effectively with fabricators, installers, and team members to ensure project accuracy.
- Assist with shop duties and materials handling (must be able to lift up to 50 lbs).
- May occasionally work at our Washington, DC location as needed.
Who We’re Looking For
- 2–3 years of total work experience, with at least 1–2 years in graphic design or sign production.
- Very proficient in Adobe Illustrator (required).
- Familiarity with FlexiSign preferred — training available.
- Basic understanding of Photoshop for simple edits (not a primary tool).
- Strong communication, active listening, and ability to translate client needs into visual concepts.
- Dependable, detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects.
Primarily based in Silver Spring, with occasional workdays in our DC location. This is subject to change.
