Looking to hire a few great people

I'm looking to hire some remote cartographers for my map making business. Knowledge of design, QGIS and Adobe Illustrator or photoshop is a plus.

30-40 hours with pto after 3 months.

Ive asked, but not sure what the going pay rate, so its negotiable.

Interested? Shoot me a message!

Careful, these laser cut maps are suuuper common. I'm glad you're hiring professionals to diversify your offerings. It's a pretty saturated market.

It’s like any other product - there’s a lot of options. We stand out with customer service, quality, customization, speed and pricing. There’s top companies in each niche and we are lucky to be one of them in the map market.

Original content is a good angle. Lot of folks out there just vectorizing free IP like USGS and NOAA maps. Looking forward to seeing what you put together.

A lot people don’t create their own files either. Only a few of us here in the states do it all. It’s fairly labor intensive from start to finish so it’s hard to break in and be competitive while still being profitable

If you end up making good stuff and you want to sell it in a retail brick and mortar, keep The Map Center in mind.

You need artistic topography maps? I can do that. I can do something like this example, as I'm a professional in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, although, I'm not too versed in map studies.

I will have to trace out first, and then make edits according to specifications.

We can work on one, and see how it turns out, then move from there.
