Full-Time Sign Designer & Print Production

Job Opportunity: Full-Time Sign Designer & Print Production
Flagship Signs | Midlands

Flagship Signs is a sign-making and vehicle graphics company based in the Midlands. We create high-quality signage, vehicle graphics, vinyl wraps and large-format prints for businesses across a wide range of industries.

We are looking for a creative, practical and organised designer to join our team full-time. This is a hands-on role covering original design work, print production and preparing jobs for our fitting team.

The Role

You will work with customers to turn their ideas into effective designs, prepare artwork for production, operate and maintain the printer, and ensure jobs are printed, checked and ready for fitting.

We are looking for someone with genuine graphic design skills who can create original artwork using professional design software. AI-generated designs are not a substitute for the design ability this role requires.

Key Responsibilities

• Original design: Create professional artwork for signage, logos, vehicle graphics, wraps, vinyl lettering and large-format prints.

• Customer communication: Liaise with customers to understand their requirements, discuss design options and obtain artwork approval before production.

• Artwork preparation: Prepare accurate, production-ready files, checking dimensions, layouts, colours, cut lines and specifications.

• Printing and job preparation: Operate the printer and prepare printed graphics and materials so that jobs are complete and ready for the fitting team.

• Printer maintenance: Carry out routine cleaning and maintenance, monitor print quality and report faults promptly.

• Fitting team coordination: Liaise with the fitting team about measurements, materials, schedules and installation requirements, providing clear instructions for each job.

• Stock ordering: Monitor and order vinyl, print media, inks and other production supplies to keep jobs running smoothly.

• Quality control: Check artwork and finished prints for accuracy, consistency and quality before they leave for installation.

• Organisation: Manage workloads and deadlines, keep job files organised and maintain a tidy working area.

The Ideal Candidate

• Strong graphic design skills, supported by a portfolio of original work.

• Proficiency in CorelDRAW.

• Good attention to detail and an understanding of print-ready artwork.

• A practical approach to turning designs into finished signage.

• Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with customers and the fitting team.

• The ability to organise jobs, manage stock and meet deadlines.

• A proactive attitude and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Experience in signage, large-format printing or vehicle graphics would be an advantage.

Qualifications and Experience

A background in graphic design or a related field is desirable. Sign industry and printer operation experience are preferred, but we also welcome applications from capable graphic designers who are keen to learn the production side of the business.

Why Join Flagship Signs?

• Competitive salary and benefits.

• A varied, creative role with hands-on involvement from design through to fitting preparation.

• Training and development opportunities.

• A supportive team environment.

If you take pride in original design work and enjoy seeing your ideas become finished products, we would love to hear from you.
