Job Title: Sign Installer – Full Time

Location: FASTSIGNS Oakland

Reports To: Production Manager

Overview: FASTSIGNS Oakland is looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Sign Installer to join our team. This role is critical to delivering high-quality signage and graphics to our clients across the Bay Area. From walls and windows to vehicles and construction zones, your work will bring brands to life in the real world. The ideal candidate is reliable, self-motivated, physically capable, and ready to grow. We're looking to train someone who can become a core part of our install team — someone our clients recognize, trust, and request by name.

Key Responsibilities:

Sign Installation

Install a wide variety of signage, including dimensional letters, vinyl graphics, ADA signage, standoff-mounted panels, window films, wall murals, and more — on walls, ceilings, vehicles, glass, drywall, concrete, and other surfaces.

Site Preparation and Assessment

Conduct site visits or assess project photos/notes to plan for each install. Confirm measurements, understand surfaces, and ensure hardware and tools are ready before arriving on site.

Shop Prep

Assist in preparing signs and materials before installs: inserting studs, disassembling standoffs, organizing tools and hardware kits, and coordinating with the QC team.

Tool & Equipment Operation

Use hand tools, drills, levels, lifts, ladders, and measuring devices.

Problem Solving

Think on your feet to adapt to field conditions. Solve issues related to uneven surfaces, mounting limitations, or unforeseen obstructions.

Documentation

Fill out install logs, take completion photos, and note any issues for follow-up. Communicate job status to the team and document client feedback or requests.

Safety

Always follow safety protocols — whether in the field, the shop, or in a lift. Help maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment.

Preferred Experience & Qualifications:

Experience in signage, construction, or related hands-on fields

Familiarity with sign types, mounting methods, and fasteners

Comfort using ladders, lifts, drills, and hand tools

Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights, and be on your feet most of the day

Clean driving record and valid driver’s license (CDL not required but a plus)

Strong communication and customer service skills

Comfortable working solo or as part of a team

Detail-oriented with pride in precision and clean execution

Great, almost perfect attendance record

3M installation certification or interest in earning it (we support training!)

Bonus Points For:

Experience installing ADA-compliant signage

Familiarity with standoffs, anchor types, drywall/masonry installations

Vinyl application or vehicle wrap experience

Spanish-speaking or multilingual

Previous FASTSIGNS or sign industry experience
