Job description

Senior Graphic Designer | Vehicle Wraps & Commercial Signage

Senior Graphic Designer | Vehicle Wraps & Commercial Signage

Turn creative concepts into vehicles, shopfronts and commercial signage people actually notice.

Cassar Signs is looking for an experienced Senior Graphic Designer with strong vehicle wrap and signage industry experience to join our growing team in Unanderra.

This is not a generic graphic design role.

You’ll be working on real-world projects every day, including vehicle wraps, fleet branding, shopfronts, illuminated signage, commercial fit-outs and large-format graphics taking projects from the initial client brief through design, approvals and into production.

We’re looking for someone who understands both great design and how signage is actually manufactured and installed.

If you’re confident working independently, enjoy variety, communicate well with clients and want to be part of a modern signage business producing high-quality work, this could be a great next move.

About Cassar Signs

Cassar Signs is an established vehicle branding and commercial signage company servicing Wollongong, the Illawarra and beyond.

We work with businesses ranging from local operators through to established commercial brands and franchises, delivering everything from one-off vehicle wraps to complete signage packages, illuminated signage, fleet branding and large-scale commercial projects.

Our team designs, prints, manufactures and installs projects in-house from our modern, purpose-built workshop in Unanderra NSW.

We invest heavily in our people, equipment and production capabilities and pride ourselves on producing work we’re genuinely proud to put our name on. Check out some of our recent work on Instagram: @cassarsigns

About the role

This position will predominantly focus on graphic design, client communication and planning workflow.

You will work closely with our production and installation team to ensure projects are designed correctly, approved efficiently and prepared accurately for manufacture.

You’ll have genuine ownership over your projects rather than simply receiving artwork briefs and passing files downstream.

This is an in-house fulltime position only. Hybrid or remote is not available.

Key responsibilities

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Designing vehicle wraps, fleet graphics and commercial signage

Creating branding concepts, layouts and client presentations

Designing shopfronts, illuminated signage, wall graphics and large-format projects

Taking client briefs and translating them into creative, practical solutions

Communicating directly with clients regarding concepts, revisions and approvals

Preparing accurate, scaled artwork and production-ready files

Setting up files for digital print, vinyl cutting, CNC routing, laser cutting and other production processes

Planning jobs and coordinating artwork through the production workflow

Working closely with our production and installation team

Managing multiple projects, deadlines and client expectations

Identifying and solving design or production issues before they reach manufacture.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone experienced enough to step into the role and operate confidently without needing constant supervision.

About you

Minimum 3 years’ professional graphic design experience

Previous vehicle wrap and/or signage industry experience required

Advanced Adobe Illustrator skills

Experience designing vehicle graphics, wraps and commercial signage

Ability to independently prepare accurate, scaled and print-ready production files

Strong understanding of typography, layout, branding and visual communication

Experience preparing professional client proofs and presentations

Strong attention to detail and accuracy

Excellent organisation and time-management skills

Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment

Confidence communicating directly with clients

Strong problem-solving ability and willingness to take ownership of projects

Ability to work independently while contributing to a close-knit team

Positive attitude and genuine pride in producing quality work

Why join Cassar Signs?

Work on projects you’ll actually want in your portfolio

You won’t be designing the same thing every day.

One day could involve a complete commercial vehicle fleet, the next a shopfront rebrand, illuminated signage package or large-format commercial project.

Modern workshop and serious equipment

You’ll be working alongside an experienced production team in a clean, modern, purpose-built facility with professional large-format printing, CNC, fabrication and signage production equipment.

There’s something different about designing a project and then walking into the workshop and seeing it printed, manufactured and installed.

You get to be involved in the entire process.

Small team, real influence

Your ideas, experience and input will directly influence projects, clients and how we continue improving the business.

Long-term opportunity

We’re looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the team, with genuine scope to expand their responsibilities as the business continues to grow.

Bonus skills = higher remuneration

We’re also interested in applicants with broader signage industry experience.

If you have experience in any of the following, we want to hear about it:

Signage estimating and quoting

Account management

Project management

Site measurements and project planning

Client consultations

Managing projects from enquiry through to production

Understanding signage fabrication, substrates and installation methods

Print production and workflow management

Applicants who can contribute beyond design and confidently assist with quoting, client management or project coordination will be offered remuneration reflecting those additional skills and responsibilities.

There is genuine scope for the right person to grow into a broader senior position within the business.

Competitive remuneration based on experience and capability

Higher remuneration available for estimating, project management and account management experience

Full-time Monday–Friday position

Immediate start available for the right applicant

Modern, purpose-built working environment

Diverse and interesting projects

High-quality equipment and production capabilities

Supportive and experienced team

Opportunity to influence projects from concept through to completion

Long-term career progression for the right person

Wollongong coastal lifestyle without the Sydney traffic

If you’re an experienced signage designer who wants more ownership, better projects and the opportunity to become an important part of a growing business, we’d like to hear from you.
