Signage Designer

About you

You are a Signage Designer who understands how physical signage is actually made, not just how it looks on screen. You enjoy taking a brief and turning it into something that can be manufactured, installed and delivered properly.

You may have experience across both signage and large format print, which is absolutely fine, though the signage side is important here. You understand materials, fixings, fabrication, dimensions and how design decisions affect production.

You are detail focused, commercially aware and comfortable working with sales, production and installation teams to make sure what is designed can actually be built.

Your experience

You have experience designing within the signage industry, ideally across internal and external signage, wayfinding, built up letters, trays, fascias, illuminated signage or similar fabricated products.

You are confident using Adobe Illustrator and other relevant design software to create visuals, technical artwork and production ready files.

Experience within large format print or graphics is useful, though you should have a genuine understanding of hard signage and signage manufacturing.

You are comfortable reading briefs, working with measurements and producing accurate drawings that can be used by production and installation teams.

What you will be doing with your experience in this role

You will take customer briefs and turn them into clear signage concepts, visuals and production ready artwork.

You will work closely with sales and project teams to understand what the client wants, then liaise with production to make sure each design is practical, accurate and suited to the manufacturing process.

Your work will cover a range of signage products, from standard internal and external signage through to more bespoke fabricated and illuminated projects.

You will also make amendments, prepare files for manufacture and support the wider team with technical artwork when required.

About the business

You would be joining an established signage and graphics manufacturer in Greater Manchester producing work for recognisable national brands.

The business handles design, print, manufacturing and installation internally, so you will have direct access to the people actually making and fitting the products you design.

They have invested heavily in their production capability and continue to grow, making this a strong opportunity for someone who wants to develop their knowledge across both signage design and manufacture.
