Job description

Join EverGreene Architectural Arts
EverGreene Architectural Arts is seeking a focused and technically capable Production Designer to support the development of production-ready documentation within our studio environment. This role is responsible for translating finalized design direction into clear layouts, scaled drawings, and organized digital files that guide studio artists and field teams. The Production Designer plays a critical supporting role in ensuring that design intent is accurately documented and efficiently executed.
For nearly 50 years, EverGreene has been a national leader in architectural restoration, conservation, and design - trusted to work on many of the most iconic and historically significant buildings in the United States. Our projects unite the worlds of art and construction, combining technical mastery with creative problem-solving to deliver outstanding results in complex, high-stakes environments. As a 100% employee-owned company, we don't just offer jobs - we offer the opportunity to build a meaningful career while preserving America's architectural legacy and contributing to work that endures.
Position Summary
The Production Designer prepares detailed layouts, scaled drawings, and digital documentation based on direction from the Senior Designer and Principal Designer when applicable. This role focuses on accuracy, file organization, and production clarity. Production Designers are expected to work within allocated design hours and proactively communicate documentation questions or conflicts before work moves into studio fabrication.
This role works collaboratively with design and project teams to translate approved design concepts into fully realized production materials. The position supports the development and refinement of decorative elements and ornament-including borders, stencils, ornamental plaster, murals, and furnishings-guided by historic precedent, architectural context, and client vision. A strong understanding of fabrication methods, materials, and installation processes is essential to ensure artistic intent is carried through every phase of production.
Core Responsibilities
  • Prepare scaled drawings, elevations, and layout documents based on approved designs.
  • Develop production-ready digital files for printing, projection, cutting, or studio transfer.
  • Refine, vectorize, and texture hand-drawn or conceptual artwork into print-ready and cutter-ready formats.
  • Create spatial and colorized renderings using photography, architectural drawings, and 3D models to visualize design intent.
  • Organize and maintain digital project folders and file naming standards.
  • Coordinate closely with Senior Designers to ensure documentation reflects approved intent.
  • Incorporate redlines and revisions accurately and efficiently.
  • Make and verify measurements and proportions to produce accurate layouts, "as-builts," and full-scale templates.
  • Assist with preparation of submittal packages, presentation materials, and client-facing deliverables.
  • Produce digital artwork on various substrates using studio equipment and ensure alignment with approved samples.
  • Ensure accurate color matching between production materials, swatches, and painted samples.
  • Track assigned hours against project allocations and communicate concerns early.
  • Support internal quality control by reviewing drawings for accuracy and completeness.
  • Collaborate with studio artists to clarify layout dimensions, sequencing, and transfer methods.
  • Assist in defining production workflows, sequencing phases of work, and organizing deliverables for efficient execution.
  • Prepare clear installation documentation and instructions for field teams.
  • Participate in project kickoff and internal coordination meetings when assigned.
  • Communicate with design teams, architects, and project stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve documentation gaps.

Career Path
This position is project based (variable hour) with the potential for Full Time status. Production Designers develop strong technical documentation skills within the studio environment. With experience and demonstrated capability, this role may advance to Senior Designer, taking on greater design responsibility and mentorship of junior staff.
Qualifications & Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience in design documentation, scenic production, architectural drafting, or related disciplines.
  • Formal training in architecture, fine arts, preservation, or related discipline (BA / BFA / BArch preferred).
  • Strong proficiency in digital drawing and layout software (Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator preferred).
  • High attention to detail and strong file organization skills.
  • Ability to interpret conceptual direction and translate it into precise documentation.
  • Understanding of scale, proportion, and decorative systems within architectural contexts.
  • Strong understanding of color theory and ability to evaluate subtle color differences.
  • Familiarity with fabrication methods, materials, and construction techniques.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining accuracy in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to ask clarifying questions.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • Passion for architecture, historic restoration, and decorative arts.
  • Must be able to work in-person within the studio environment.

Preferred
  • Historic restoration experience
  • Ability to draw or paint
  • Familiarity with classical architecture and ornamental vocabulary

Work Environment & Travel Expectations
  • This is an in-person, studio-based role requiring daily collaboration with design and production teams. Production Designers work closely with studio artists to ensure layouts and documentation align with fabrication and finish processes.
  • Most work is performed in a studio/office environment with extended periods at a computer, along with regular standing, walking, and occasional lifting.
  • Occasional travel to project sites may be required to support layout verification or assist during installation phases. The individual must be able to navigate active construction sites and comply with OSHA safety protocols, including proper use of PPE.

Benefit Highlights
  • Medical, Dental & Vision plans
  • 401k & Roth Retirement plans with company match
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan - ESOP
  • Long Term Disability & Basic Life Insurance
  • Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays

Why Join EverGreene?
  • Work on landmark projects and iconic buildings nationwide
  • Join a mission-driven, employee-owned company where your contributions matter
  • Grow your career in a collaborative culture that values craftsmanship, quality, and innovation
  • Help shape a lasting legacy of artistic excellence and technical mastery
