Graphics & Production Specialist

FASTSIGNS of Bend | Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm | $22–$26/hour to start

About the Role

FASTSIGNS of Bend is a small, skilled team of three people who make signs, graphics, displays, vehicle wraps, and visual products for businesses throughout Central Oregon. We're looking for a fourth person — someone hands‑on, tech‑comfortable, and detail‑oriented who wants to learn a real trade and grow with us. No sign industry experience required. We will train you. What we can't teach is work ethic, attention to detail, and the kind of brain that likes figuring things out.

What You'll Do

This role is primarily shop production (~70%) with some field installation mixed in (~30%).

In the shop, you'll help with:

• Running large-format printers, cutters, and laminators
• Cutting, trimming, mounting, weeding, and finishing vinyl graphics
• Making and manipulating computer graphics for customers — resizing, tweaking text, or cleaning up a file before it goes to print
• Preparing files and work orders for production runs
• Labeling, packaging, and shipping orders
• Keeping the production area organized and efficient

In the field, you'll help with:

• Installing signs, graphics, and displays at customer locations
• Making deliveries around Bend
• Using basic tools, step ladders, and occasionally digging post holes
• Working professionally and safely at customer locations

You’ll work alongside an experienced team member and have the support of our Eugene design and production team — specialists two hours away.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need sign experience. But you should be someone who:

• Is reliable and shows up on time, every time
• Has strong computer skills — you'll use production software daily
• Pays close attention to detail and catches mistakes early
• Likes making things and working with their hands
• Has done something — a job, a hobby, coursework — that involved putting things together or following a precise process
• Has a natural eye for layout — if you've ever adjusted a flyer, tinkered with a graphic, or made something look right on a screen, that instinct matters here
• Wants variety and doesn't want to sit still all day

This is a good fit for someone a few years into their working life who is creative and hands‑on — and wants to build things, not sit behind a design desk.

Requirements

• Valid driver's license and good driving record
• Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb a step ladder, and work on your feet
• Full-time availability, Monday–Friday
• Comfortable with computers and willing to learn new software

Pay & Benefits

• $22–$26/hour to start, depending on experience
• Health & dental insurance (50% employer‑paid)
• 401(k) with up to 3.5% employer match
• ~3 weeks PTO plus 6 paid holidays
• Branded apparel provided and hands‑on training

Why FASTSIGNS of Bend?

We opened in the summer of 2024 and we're growing fast. Our branch manager, Ray Wicks, brings six years of sign and graphics experience and is already among the top performers in the FASTSIGNS network nationwide. This is a team worth joining early.

We're a tight team of three, backed by a 20‑person operation in Eugene — designers and equipment specialists two hours away.

You’ll learn to operate state‑of‑the‑art wide‑format printers, RIP software, vinyl cutters, and laminators — real production skills that transfer anywhere in the graphics and print industry.

From wrapping a vehicle to installing a wall mural to putting graphics on a storefront window — you’ll drive around Bend and point to things you made and put up with your own hands.

Almost everything we make goes to local and regional businesses. You're not making disposable print — you're helping real companies show up professionally in their community, and that work is visible for years.

The person we add to this team will share in what we're building. If you're dependable, curious, and ready to learn — we want to hear from you.
