What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with genuine experience in the sign manufacturing industry who understands the practical processes involved in producing high-quality signage. You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in the sign manufacturing industry — essential.
• Practical experience operating large-format digital printers.
• Knowledge of print-finishing processes and sign production equipment.

Who Would Suit This Role?

What matters most is that you understand the sign manufacturing process, are comfortable working hands-on and take pride in producing excellent results. This isn't a purely graphic design position.
