Overview

We are seeking an experienced, fully autonomous Contract Vehicle Vinyl Wrap Installer to handle upcoming commercial and custom vehicle wrap projects on an as-needed basis. As an independent contractor, you will operate under your own schedule and utilize your own core methodology to deliver high-quality, flawless installations that align with project specifications.

Scope of Work (Project Deliverables)

• Surface Preparation: Autonomously inspect, clean, and properly prep vehicle surfaces to ensure optimal vinyl adhesion.
• Precision Installation: Execute full wraps, partial wraps, and spot graphics on various vehicle classes (cars, commercial vans, box trucks, and trailers).
• Trimming & Edges: Deliver seamless finishes using precise cutting and tucking techniques around doors, hardware, and complex curves without damaging factory paint.
• Hardware Management: Efficiently remove and reinstall minor vehicle hardware (badges, door handles, taillights) independently to achieve clean wraps.
• Vinyl Removal: Perform clean removals of old graphic wrap materials and adhesive residue from vehicle substrates when dictated by the project scope.
• Quality Self-Inspection: Ensure the final product is entirely free of bubbles, lifting, or alignment defects prior to final project sign-off.

Contractor Requirements & Qualifications

• Proven Portfolio: Minimum of 2–3 years of professional vehicle wrapping experience with verifiable photo documentation or references.
• Own Tools: Must provide your own professional installation toolkit (including heat guns, specialized squeegees, wrap knives, torch, and magnets).
• Certifications (Preferred): Industry certifications from recognized entities (e.g., 3M, Avery Dennison, PDAA, or Lowen) are highly favorable.
• Business Structure: Must operate as an independent business entity with a valid EIN (Employer Identification Number) or SSN.
• Insurance: Must maintain active General Liability insurance.
• Physical Autonomy: Capability to lift up to 50 lbs, stretch, kneel, and stand for extended periods necessary to complete physical installations.

Compensation & Work Logistics

• Pay Structure: Negotiated flat-rate per project, or paid on a per-square-foot metric matching our established contract tiers.
• Flexible Scheduling: You control your own working hours, break times, and pacing, provided the project is completed by the pre-negotiated deadline.
• Location Options: Projects can be executed within our climate-controlled facility, or completely on-site at client locations depending on your preference and project needs.
• Tax Documentation: A signed W-9 form and independent contractor agreement must be on file prior to the allocation of any project. You will receive a 1099-NEC for tax filing.
