If you are a talented Graphic Designer/Artist that’s tired of creating the same old thing day after day, enjoys getting up and away from the desk, working with your hands, and wants to make great money working at an amazing company, then keep reading!

Signarama of North Fort Worth is a 5-Star rated company seeking a 5-Star person with a good, creative skill set and a willing personality to join our dynamic team in Keller, TX. Our crew is a great mix of friendly, hardworking people. We have fishermen, readers, movie buffs, video game heroes, tool geeks, and a variety of other interests. We have family people, single people, parents, and grandparents. Happy people. We even have a Guinness World Record holder!

We work hard but we work hard at having fun, too. Laughter and positive energy is a constant in our shop. Our crew is constantly on the move, working on new and exciting projects, and the company is growing rapidly. As a result, we have recently purchased a new building and are doubling our workspace to accommodate more awesome sign projects! So, design and production experience in the sign-making industry is a plus but it’s not a requirement. After all, we do provide at least SOME training. But, we do require this person to think/design creatively, communicate effectively, and on good days, walk simultaneously. :)

SO, HERE’S THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT:

This is a full-time gig that works Monday through Friday from 8:30 am - 5:30 pm. Overtime is occasionally available as needed to keep up with the workload. Nights and weekends are for family time. Pay is based on experience and your personal awesomeness level. Monthly Bonus Pay is also available and based on the overall company awesomeness level.

The primary function for this position is to design and create all types of signs, which includes printing wide-format graphics, cutting vinyl on a plotter, and using a laminator. We expect this person to oversee the initial design and production of signs. Additionally, this key player will also help with the application and/or installation of signs. Of course, we also expect you to dress appropriately (super cool Signarama gear will be provided), help answer the phones, interact with customers professionally, keep a clean, organized work area, blah blah blah.

TO BE TRULY AWESOME FOR THIS POSITION, YOU WILL HAVE

• Basic computer knowledge (duh) and willingness to learn our client software program
• Proficiency with Illustrator, Photoshop, and Stock Image Websites
• Knowledge and experience with Flexi-Sign is not only preferred, but also incredibly helpful
• Some experience operating & trouble-shooting sign-related equipment (We’re not looking for MacGyver. We just need someone to be able to clear a paper jam and load a new ink cartridge occasionally.)
• Ability to interpret work orders, follow customer’s directions, and create quality designs
• Demonstrated pride in craftsmanship and final product quality
• Ability to pass basic math and spelling tests (See also: “Can use a Calculator and Spell Check”)
• Good organizational skills with a strong attention to detail
• A self-starter, willing attitude (seriously, who wants their hand held all the time?)
• The ability to keep up in a fast-paced environment
• The ability to balance multiple projects and meet deadlines (Think circus-level plate spinner and you’ll be on target.)
• The ability to pass a background check and a drug screen
• Valid proof of USA residency
• A good driving record

WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR A DESK JOCKEY, SO YOU MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO

• Stand, bend, and kneel on a regular, daily basis
• Climb a ladder (preferably without falling down)
• Operate basic hand and electrical tools
• Bench press 300 pounds. (Ok, not really. But being able to lift up to 50 lbs is occasionally required.)

ADVICE: Don’t ignore this opportunity. Maybe you are happy where you are at. But again, maybe you could be happier. Don’t be afraid of change or what your employer might think. Sometimes people need to move on in order to grow. The best employers understand that and encourage it.
