The opportunity

As an UX Designer here, you'll concept, design, and refine work that shows up everywhere our audience does. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $67,000 - $95,000, contract hours, and a creative team at Caterpillar that actually hands you the keys.

Key Responsibilities

  • Steer a mid-level review toward decisions instead of opinions about decisions
  • Pull through one underdog-spirited visual idea across web, print, and the Modesto, CA storefront
  • Reverse-engineer a competitor's hit to understand the mechanic, not copy the look
  • Partner with copywriters to align visuals with messaging and tone
  • Sketch early concepts that give Caterpillar campaigns a recognizable visual signature
  • Hold the line on kerning while shipping at a contract pace
  • Resurface old Caterpillar archives for motifs worth a second, sharper life

What You'll Bring

  • Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
  • Comfort with the contract cadence of a Modesto-based operation
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • Experience at the mid-level inside a contract role
  • 4 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake

For over 4 years, Caterpillar has built team-oriented solutions that help teams in Modesto, CA get more done. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

At $67,000 - $95,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this UX Designer seat at Caterpillar is built for people who want to rise.

Reopened and refreshed, the search for a mid-level candidate runs hot today.
