Job description

Are You Fed Up With Travel & Long Installs? Join Us for Real Work-Life Balance.

Do you find yourself dreading those long road trips across the country to install signs? Tired of spending all your time on the road, working late, and always chasing the next installation site?

At Signs Express (Bristol), we do things differently. We're a well-established print and signage business, but we stay local. That means less travel, more balance, and work you can be proud of, without sacrificing your personal life.

What You'll Do:

• Work in our Bristol-based workshop producing a wide range of signage: vinyl graphics, foamex, Dibond, acrylics, metals, wood etc.
• Use large-format printers, vinyl cutters, laminators, and RIP software to create high-quality graphics.
• Handle installations locally - no long trips out of town.
• Apply vinyl to vehicles (full wraps or partial), windows, and other substrates.
• Interpret design briefs clearly and turn them into polished final signage.
• Ensure all installations are done safely and to our incredibly high standards.
• Be responsible for health & safety on-site, and follow our detailed Risk Assessments & Method Statements.
• Deliver excellent customer service - we don't just make signs; we build relationships.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Fixed local work - no endless driving, no nights away.
• WPA private health insurance (after probation)
• Regular hours - Monday to Friday, 8:00-16:30.
• Salary from £30,000 p/a, depending on your experience.
• Free on-site parking at our Avonmouth base - no struggling to find a space.
• Professional development: Access to our centralised Learning Management System to sharpen your skills.Indeed
• Growth & networking opportunities: As part of a nationwide signage network, you're not just in a local shop-you're connected to a larger community.
• Social team environment: We host team-building and social events.
• Time off to recharge: We close over Christmas and New Year, so you can spend it with friends and family.

Who We're Looking For:

• At least 4 years' experience in sign making and installation - you know your way around large-format printers, vinyl cutters, and laminators.
• Proven track record in installing: vehicle graphics, panel signage, fascia, and so on.
• Confident using design / RIP software.
• A full, clean driving licence - because even though our work's local, you'll need to get around.
• Good understanding of health & safety, and confidence in following formal RAMS.
• A positive, can-do attitude - able to work on your own or as part of a team.
• (Desirable) IPAF, PASMA, or CSCS accreditation.

About Us:
