Job Summary

Drive catalog design and brand visuals for an on-site graphic design internship in Ontario/Chino, blending print-ready catalogs with digital assets.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Product Catalog Design: Design and lay out a multi-page, print-ready product catalog using Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator
  • Create visually striking hero-shot layouts (full-bleed and dominant product imagery) for generators, robotic batteries, container BESS units, utility lighting towers, solar panels, inverter battery storage systems, and EV chargers
  • Integrate technical specifications (voltage, capacity, runtime, IP rating, warranty, dimensions, etc.) in a clean, modern style that informs without cluttering the design
  • Retouch, color-correct, and manipulate product photography to ensure every image looks premium, polished, and consistent
  • Maintain brand consistency across all catalog pages — typography, color palette, iconography, and layout grid
  • Prepare final files for both print production (CMYK, bleeds, trim marks) and digital distribution (optimized PDF, interactive features)
  • Marketing & Creative Support: Design social media graphics (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook) to promote products, company milestones, and campaign launches
  • Create sales collateral — one-sheets, spec sheets, sell sheets, trade show banners, and presentation decks
  • Develop visual concepts aligned with brand identity and campaign goals in collaboration with the marketing team
  • Create high-quality illustrations, icons, infographics, and visual assets that enhance product content and marketing materials

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in (or recently graduated from) a Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Digital Media, Marketing, or related program
  • Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)
  • Photography
  • A portfolio that demonstrates clean layout, product-focused design, or catalog/editorial work (class projects and personal work absolutely count)
  • Strong foundation in color theory, typography, color management, layout design, and typesetting principles
  • An eye for photography and visual storytelling — you know how to make industrial equipment look powerful, premium, and approachable
  • Excellent attention to detail — you catch the misaligned text box, the off-brand color, the orphaned line
  • Strong presentation and communication skills — you can articulate your design decisions clearly and take feedback like a pro
  • Understanding of print production basics (resolution, color modes, bleeds) is a plus

Preferred

  • After Effects, Premiere Pro, or Figma
  • Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript for web-related projects
  • Experience with motion graphics or video editing (After Effects, Premiere Pro) is desirable but not required
  • Familiarity with social media design best practices and platform-specific sizing
  • Potential for college credit (if approved by your school)

Benefits

  • Paid from day one — $16.90-$17.49/hour, 20–40 hours/week built around your schedule
  • Real portfolio work — not busy work. You will build a professional product catalog and marketing materials you can show future employers
  • Hands-on mentorship from experienced marketing and design professionals who want to see you grow
  • Exposure to a booming industry — power systems, renewable energy, and battery storage are not slowing down
  • Flexible scheduling around your classes and academic commitments
  • Potential for college credit (if approved by your school)
  • Depending on performance and current operations - part-time or full-time position for the right candidate upon graduation
