What is an entry level art job?

Entry level art jobs are positions designed for individuals who are just starting their careers in the art field, often requiring minimal professional experience or formal education. These roles can include positions such as junior graphic designer, art assistant, gallery attendant, or production artist. They provide valuable hands-on experience and an opportunity to build a portfolio while learning from more experienced professionals. Entry level art jobs are ideal for recent graduates or those looking to transition into the creative industry.

What types of projects and tasks can I expect to work on as an entry level artist?

As an entry level artist, you will typically assist with foundational art tasks such as creating basic illustrations, preparing assets for senior artists, and supporting larger projects with revisions or touch-ups. You'll often work on tasks like color correction, file organization, and developing concept sketches under supervision. Collaboration is key; you'll regularly interact with other artists, designers, and project managers to ensure your work aligns with the team's vision and project requirements. This role provides an excellent opportunity to learn industry-standard tools and workflows while building a diverse portfolio.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an entry level artist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Entry Level Artist, you need a solid grasp of foundational art principles, proficiency in drawing or digital illustration, and often a relevant degree or portfolio showcasing your work. Familiarity with design software such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) or other industry-standard digital art tools is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to accept feedback gracefully are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills are crucial for producing high-quality artwork and collaborating effectively with creative teams or clients.

Job description

Asphalt Sealcoating Crew Member

Doctor Asphalt LLC Locations: Madison, WI and Minneapolis, MN Job Type: Full-Time Schedule: Seasonal (April–November) with winter out-of-state opportunities Experience: Asphalt and/or concrete experience preferred, but not required


About Doctor Asphalt

At Doctor Asphalt, asphalt is our medium — but people are our purpose. We're a purpose-driven, future-focused asphalt and concrete company that treats pavement like an art form and every project as an opportunity to elevate a property, empower an employee, and strengthen a community.

Our founder, Jake, puts it this way: "My why is to better the lives of my employees, my family, and my clients through the act of asphalt and concrete work. The work is an art form to us."

If you want more than a job — if you want to build skill, pride, and a future — you're in the right place.


What You'll Do

  • Apply sealcoat, crackfill, and line striping with precision
  • Prep job sites through cleaning, edging, taping, and equipment setup
  • Operate tools and equipment as part of a trained, supportive crew
  • Contribute to projects that blend engineering discipline with artistic detail
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and respectful job site
  • Represent the Doctor Asphalt Way — craftsmanship, communication, and pride


What We're Looking For

We hire for character, train for skill, and invest in your future.

  • Strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Ability to work on your feet and lift 50+ lbs
  • Comfortable working outdoors in both hot and cold weather
  • Reliable transportation to work
  • Willingness to learn — no experience required, but experience helps
  • Team-oriented mindset and respect for craftsmanship
  • Must be willing to travel out of state for 2–4 weeks at a time, and be available for local work in either Madison, WI or Minneapolis, MN
  • Valid Class A CDL preferred


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive hourly pay with rapid growth opportunities
  • Overtime available
  • Consistent seasonal schedule (April–November) with new out-of-state winter opportunities
  • Paid training and mentorship
  • Clear advancement pathway through our Ascend Ladder program — opportunities to grow into crew leader, foreman, or specialist roles
  • Supportive, respectful crew culture


Schedule

  • Typically Monday–Saturday
  • 8–14 hours per day depending on the job


Growth & Development — The Ascend Ladder

We don't just build pavement. We build people. Our structured Ascend Ladder turns entry-level workers into skilled craftsmen and future leaders, with paid training, clear advancement steps, and leadership development at every stage.


Why Join Doctor Asphalt

Doctor Asphalt is expanding — multi-state growth, technology-driven workflows, and industry-leading training programs. We're building the future of pavement management, and we want people who want to grow with us.

Every line you paint, every edge you cut, every surface you restore becomes part of the art we leave behind.
