    Job Summary

    As Production and Design Manager, you will oversee the entire lifecycle of signage projects, from initial graphic design to final fabrication and installation. This role is a hands-on leadership position that requires a unique blend of creative expertise and technical proficiency in operating large-format printers, vinyl cutters, and RIP software. The manager ensures all output meets strict quality standards and branding guidelines while maintaining an efficient, safe, and cost-effective shop environment.

    Overseeing production and design of signs

    Operating HP Latex printers, Graphtec plotters and Royal Sovereign laminators

    Producing signs

    Designing and Proofing signs

    Managing computer and art files

    Working directly with both customers and partner firms

    Maintaining company signage equipment

    Maintaining cleanliness and organization of manufacturing/production area

    Qualifications

    Proven ability to meet deadlines consistently

    Exceptional attention to detail and strong multi-tasking abilities

    Clear communication skills are a must

    Excellent people skills—you’ll be interacting with both customers and vendors in a fast-paced team environment

    3-5+ years of experience in the sign industry

    Knowledge of vinyl creation, application, and large-format digital printing (experience with HP printers and ONYX RIP software is a plus but not required)

    Strong computer and file management skills, particularly with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop

    Familiarity with sign industry software like Corebridge or Cyrious is a bonus

    Basic math skills

    While this role includes some graphic design responsibilities, it's key that you also have experience in sign manufacturing. If you’re strictly a graphic designer without a background in sign production, this role will not be the right fit.

    A sign company

    A screen printing or traditional printing company

    A marketing area within a company or for an advertising agency

    A light manufacturing company
