  • Weld and Construct: Operate welding equipment to join sign parts and structures together.
  • Maximize Efficiency: Plan, prepare, and use materials efficiently to keep waste to a minimum.
  • Quality & Finish: Perform essential finishing work, including sanding, polishing, and cleaning cut materials, and applying paint touch-ups and detailing to signs.
  • Assembly Preparation: Prepare sign structures by laying out materials for skinning/covering, and performing pre-painting and wiring preparation tasks, including cleaning and labeling parts.
  • Safety First: Consistently implement and maintain quality control and safety procedures during material handling, cutting, and welding.
  • Maintenance: Perform preventative maintenance and minor repairs to sheet metal department equipment.
  • Teamwork: Perform all duties required to ensure the department meets project expectations and deadlines.

  • Foundational Skills: Demonstrated basic experience in power tool operation, or related hands-on areas, is a plus.
  • Certification Commitment: Must be willing to work towards obtaining a 3G Welding certificate.
  • Technical Literacy: The ability to read, interpret, and apply information from specifications, diagrams, and procedure manuals.
  • Math Skills: The ability to apply geometric, algebraic and fraction mathematical calculations for accurate cutting and fitting. Be able to read a tape measure.
  • Communication: Ability to effectively communicate with team members and supervisors.
