We're looking for an experienced Senior Signage Designer / Artworker to join our growing team.
This role can be fully remote (UK or overseas) or hybrid from our Bristol office. We're looking for the right person, wherever they're based, provided you have excellent communication skills and can work within UK business hours.
At Signs Express Bristol, we've built our reputation on quality workmanship, outstanding customer service and attention to detail, earning over 205 five-star customer reviews. We're looking for someone who shares those values and takes pride in producing accurate, production-ready artwork.
This is not a branding or conceptual design role. Your artwork will go directly into production for printing, vinyl cutting, CNC routing and installation, so accuracy and technical ability are far more important than creative flair.

- Vehicle liveries and full vehicle wraps
- Fleet branding
- Shop fascias
- Interior branding
- Window graphics
- Wayfinding signage

- Exhibition and display graphics
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Producing and amending production-ready artwork.
- Creating customer visuals and proofs.
- Preparing accurate print-ready files.
- Setting up correct bleed, scale, colours, layers and file structures.
- Preparing files for print, vinyl cutting and CNC routing.
- Carrying out final artwork checks before production.
- Working closely with our sales and production teams to ensure projects run smoothly.
- Speaking with customers by phone or video when required to discuss artwork and project details.
Essential Experience & Skills
- Minimum 3 years' experience within the signage or large-format print industry.
- Excellent Adobe Illustrator skills (Photoshop experience also desirable).
- Strong experience designing vehicle liveries and wraps is essential.
- Proven experience creating accurate production-ready artwork.
- Good understanding of large-format print and signage manufacturing processes.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
- Strong communication skills.
- Confident working independently in a remote environment.
- Reliable, organised and professional.
Highly Desirable
Experience in any of the following would be a significant advantage:
- Preparing quotations and estimating signage projects.
- Knowledge of signage materials and fabrication methods.
- RIP software and large-format print workflows.
- Colour management.
- Vehicle wrap installation knowledge.
- Experience liaising directly with customers.
This Role Is Not Suitable For
- Graphic designers without signage industry experience.
- Branding or marketing designers.
- Junior or trainee designers.
- Freelance designers looking for occasional work.
We're specifically looking for someone who already understands the realities of producing artwork for the signage industry and can hit the ground running.
