Design Engineer

At Golden Rule Signs, we pride ourselves on continuous evolution. The driving force behind constant business growth is the presence of skilled and dedicated team members. We’re searching for a highly-skilled design engineer to contribute to Golden Rule Sign’s growth and help us maintain our position as an innovative authority.

A Design Engineer is one of the multiple team members within the Project Management Department. Each member of the Project Management team/department is responsible for executing their tasks in such a manner as to ensure a successful sign project and provide the customer with an exceptional experience. A Design Engineer is responsible for creating the Job Packet for each project. A Job Packet is a multi-page PDF document that can be distributed to (a) the Customer, (b) Vendor Partners who will be responsible for manufacturing materials for the project. (c) Installation Partners who will be responsible for erecting or building the sign. This document is the blueprint for the project. Any stakeholder of the project should be able to view/read the document and completely understand the scope of work.

Job Packets are created using Corel Draw and Affinity Publisher software suites. Templates and stock elements allow the Design Engineer to quickly grab from many pre-made elements to build the Job Packet.
