FASTSIGNS Burien-West Seattle — Burien, WA
$21–$23 per hour + Performance Bonuses
Full-Time | Monday–Friday | No Nights or Weekends
Are you a creative person who enjoys working with your hands? Do color, typography, and imagery spark your imagination? Does the idea of seeing your work installed in the real world excite you?
If you're looking for a career where you can design, build, and grow your skills every day—we want to meet you.
FASTSIGNS of Burien-West Seattle is hiring a Design & Production Assistant to help bring our clients’ ideas to life. This is a hands-on role combining graphic design, digital printing, and physical sign production. In our shop no two days are the same. You’ll work in a collaborative, energetic environment and play a key role in taking projects from concept to completion.
We’re happy to train the right person. Prior sign production experience is not required—but Adobe Illustrator experience is essential.
The Perks
- Pay: $21 – $23/hr (Starting pay, based on experience).
- Bonus Power: Significant performance-based bonus opportunities.
- Work-Life Balance: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. No nights, no weekends.
- Growth: We will train the right person. If you have the Illustrator basics, we’ll teach you the craft of sign-making.
- Time Off: 40 hours paid vacation at your 6-month mark + 9 paid holidays.
The Role: From Concept to Completion
You’ll be an integral part of the entire creative lifecycle. You aren't just a "designer"—you’re a builder.

- Create: Use Adobe Illustrator to turn customer concepts into production-ready graphics.
- Produce: Operate state-of-the-art digital printers, plotters, and laminators.
- Build: Prepare substrates, apply vinyl, and mount digital prints with precision.
- Solve: Visit sites to take measurements and help determine the best materials for the job.
- Collaborate: Work directly with the team and customers to ensure every project is flawless before it hits the streets.
What You Bring to the Table
- Illustrator Skills: You know your way around Adobe Illustrator (portfolio required if you haven't worked professionally in design yet).
- A "Maker" Mindset: You enjoy physical work, using power tools, and standing/moving throughout the day.
- Physical Stamina: Ability to lift 75+ lbs and handle the physical demands of large-format production.
- Accuracy: You have a "measure twice, cut once" mentality and a keen eye for detail.
- Hustle: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can keep your cool under a deadline.
