Are you a creative who hates being stuck behind a desk? We are looking for a Junior Sign Designer & Installer to join our team. This is a unique role where you will take a project from the initial digital concept all the way to the physical installation.

- Perform site surveys (taking accurate measurements and photos) at client locations.
- Install non-electrical signage using hand and power tools (drills, Levels, ladders).

- The Design Eye: Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator is a must. You should understand layers, paths, and vector points.
- The "Maker" Mindset: You enjoy working with your hands and have basic experience with power tools.

- Reliable Transport: A valid Driver’s License is required for traveling to installation sites.
- Education: A degree or certificate in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, or a graduate of a NJ Vocational-Technical program (e.g., MCVTS, PCTI) is a huge plus.
