Associate - Graphic Design

Associate – Environmental Design

In Office / Monday – Friday (8:00 AM TO 5:00 PM)

Description

At AmTab Manufacturing Corporation, we don’t just make learning environments — we make them matter. Our mission is to build student-first spaces that transform how K–12 schools function, feel, and flourish. Every cafeteria, commons, and collaboration area we touch becomes a stage for creativity, inclusion, and energy.

As a minority-owned, 100% made-in-the-USA company, AmTab is proud to own our design, manufacturing, and installation process from start to finish.

We’re looking for a designer who doesn’t just shape walls — they shape experiences. If that’s you, read on.

As an Associate – Environmental Design (Remote), you’ll bring brand, culture, and community identity to life through large-format graphics, signage, murals, and visual storytelling elements that personalize K–12 learning spaces. Sitting within the Office Work Group, this role bridges graphic design, interior aesthetics, and architectural branding — infusing meaning and emotion into every square foot we furnish.

This isn’t marketing. This is environmental transformation — and you’ll be at the heart of it.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate school culture into full-space graphic installations using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for wall art, wayfinding, stage graphics, and surface designs.
• Design across multiple surfaces and scales — from 3D lettering and signage to vinyl murals and ceiling features.
• Work collaboratively with our Interior Design and Education Partnerships teams to align environmental designs with spatial layouts.
• Manage the print-readiness of all assets and coordinate with production teams for proper output specifications.
• Participate in concept sessions with school districts to capture values, colors, mascots, and vision.
• Maintain a working knowledge of signage materials, graphic finishes, and educational design trends.
• Present visual design concepts to internal teams and clients with clarity and confidence.
• Adapt quickly to district feedback and evolve designs with agility and creativity.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Environmental Design, Interior Design, or related field.
• 1–3 years of experience in environmental or experiential graphic design.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator and Photoshop. Experience with large-scale printing or signage production preferred.
• Portfolio demonstrating multi-surface visual storytelling and experiential design.
• Familiarity with education markets, student-centered design, or branded environments is a plus.
• Strong visual communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to manage deadlines across multiple, simultaneous design projects.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally in a fast-paced team.
• Knowledge of ADA signage guidelines and OSHA visual safety standards is preferred.

We design learning environments that feel like they belong. If you’re ready to tell bold stories through space and signage — let’s talk. Your designs will become the heartbeat of a school, the pride of a student body, and the backdrop of thousands of young learners’ daily lives.
