Signage Designer / Production Artworker

We are looking for an experienced Signage Designer to support a busy UK sign company. The ideal candidate will combine strong creative ability with practical knowledge of how signs are manufactured and installed.

Both on-site and remote working opportunities are available. On-site positions are based at our premises in Inverness, Scotland. Remote applicants must be able to communicate reliably and collaborate effectively with our UK-based project managers.

This is not a general marketing or social-media design position. You should have previous experience working for a signage, vehicle-graphics or large-format printing company.

You must be able to interpret customer briefs, site photographs and measurements, then develop accurate customer visuals and production-ready artwork. You should be comfortable working independently, asking sensible questions when information is missing and collaborating with project managers.

Responsibilities

• Produce creative and professional signage concepts from customer briefs
• Prepare customer visuals using site photographs, elevations and vehicle templates
• Create accurate, correctly scaled production artwork
• Design shop fascias, folded trays, sign panels, window graphics, vehicle liveries, banners, post-mounted signs and dimensional lettering
• Prepare artwork for large-format printing, vinyl cutting and CNC production
• Add clear dimensions, material specifications and production notes
• Check spelling, measurements, scale, image quality, colours, bleed and cut paths before submission
• Adapt customer-supplied logos and artwork into suitable production files
• Follow established templates, brand guidelines and company production standards
• Manage several projects while meeting agreed deadlines
• Respond accurately and promptly to feedback and requested amendments
• Communicate clearly with project managers and raise questions before making assumptions
