• Preflight & File Prep: Review, preflight, and prepare incoming client/internal artwork files using Adobe Creative Suite to ensure proper resolution, color profiles, bleeds, and cut lines.
• Equipment Operation: Operate and maintain wide-format equipment, including roll-to-roll printers, UV flatbeds, and Graphtec vinyl plotters.
• Finishing & Prep Work: Perform post-print finishing work, including laminating, trimming, vinyl weeding, taping, and mounting graphics to various substrates (acrylic, PVC, wood, foam).
• Installation: Assist with graphic installations both in-house and on-site at client locations (wall murals, vinyl graphics, environmental signage).
• Workflow Tracking: Maintain project status updates and task tracking within our project management software (Teamwork) to keep jobs moving through production on schedule.

What You’ll Be Bringing:

• 1+ years of hands-on experience in print production, sign making, prepress, or wide-format graphics.
