Full Job Description

We are seeking a Sign Designer (large format - architectural signs - environmental graphics) who can bridge creative design and real-world construction.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys design but also wants to understand how their work is fabricated, installed, and used in the built environment.

About Us

Port City Signs and Graphics is a full-service commercial sign and large-format graphics manufacturer founded in 1948 in Wilmington, NC. We fabricate and install exterior signage, vehicle wraps, interior branding, ADA signage, CNC-routed and dimensional signs, and large-scale commercial development signage.

Our team partners with developers, general contractors, architects, engineers, and business owners to deliver signage that not only meets brand goals, but can also be accurately fabricated and installed in real-world conditions.

We are growing and seeking an Sign Designer / Project Coordinator who enjoys creative design and also takes ownership of how that design will ultimately be built and installed.

About the Role

This role blends creative design with technical drafting and project coordination. Designs must not only meet brand and aesthetic goals, but also reflect real-world fabrication methods, installation constraints, and field conditions.

You will create layouts and technical drawings for monument signs, freestanding signs, building-mounted signage, vehicle wraps, and environmental graphics used for permitting, engineering review, and fabrication.

A primary responsibility of this role is translating architectural drawings, engineering intent, and client expectations into fabrication-ready sign documentation. This often involves identifying missing information, coordinating with estimators and production teams, and preventing costly installation conflicts before fabrication begins.

This is not a sit-behind-the-computer-all-day job. You will regularly move through our fabrication and vehicle wrap installation facility to collaborate with team members, troubleshoot issues, and ensure accuracy throughout production and installation.

If you enjoy creative design and also enjoy understanding how things are built in the real world, this may be a strong fit.

Responsibilities

Create technical drawings for permitting, engineering review, and production
Develop creative layouts for vehicle wraps, murals, interior and exterior signage that can be accurately fabricated and installed within documented site conditions and material constraints
Prepare preliminary layouts for estimating
Revise layouts based on client needs, brand guidelines, and fabrication limitations
Translate architectural drawings and site conditions into fabrication-ready documentation
Identify missing or conflicting information prior to fabrication
Collaborate with estimating, production, and installation teams throughout project execution
Communicate clearly with clients and internal team members
Ensure accuracy and quality throughout the entire design-to-installation process

Requirements

Experience preparing documentation for fabrication, permitting, or installation in signage or related built-environment industries preferred
Ability to create technical drawings for signage or fabricated elements
Expert skills in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop
Excellent spelling, communication, and math skills
Ability to read a ruler to the 16th of an inch
Professional appearance: business-casual attire, no visible tattoos above the collar, no visible piercings other than earrings
Valid driver’s license
Ability to lift 35 pounds
Positive attitude and strong teamwork skills
On-site work required in Wilmington, NC

Compensation

We offer a tiered salary structure based on experience:

$43,000–$52,000 for early-career designers
$52,000 + for experienced candidates with technical drawing, permitting, or project coordination experience

Benefits

Competitive pay commensurate with experience
Full health-care package: medical, dental, vision
Simple IRA with company match
Short-term disability coverage
Company-paid life insurance
Paid holidays
Generous vacation after one year
Monday–Friday schedule with regular overtime opportunities

To Apply

You must complete the full application on Indeed to be considered.

Please include:

Your resume
A link to your portfolio or uploaded samples of work (if available)
Examples of vehicle wrap designs or large-format signage (if available)
Responses to all application questions
Responses to follow-up emailed questions (if requested)

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $43,000.00 - $63,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Health insurance
