What is sign fabrication?

Sign fabrication is the process of designing, manufacturing, and assembling signs for businesses, organizations, or public spaces. This involves working with various materials like metal, plastic, vinyl, and glass to create custom signs that meet clients' specifications. Sign fabricators use tools and techniques such as cutting, welding, painting, and electrical wiring to produce both indoor and outdoor signage. The process may also include installation and maintenance services. Sign fabrication plays a crucial role in branding, advertising, and providing wayfinding information.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in sign fabrication?

To thrive in Sign Fabrication, you need skills in measuring, cutting, assembling, and finishing materials, often supported by a high school diploma or technical training. Familiarity with tools such as CNC routers, vinyl cutters, digital printers, and design software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW is typically required. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication help professionals exceed client expectations and collaborate with team members. These skills ensure that signs are produced accurately, efficiently, and to high-quality standards, meeting both client needs and safety regulations.

What are some common challenges faced in sign fabrication, and how can new employees prepare for them?

Sign fabrication often involves working with a variety of materials and tools, requiring precision and attention to detail. New employees may initially find it challenging to interpret design specifications accurately and operate specialized machinery safely. To prepare, it's helpful to familiarize yourself with basic fabrication techniques, safety protocols, and to seek hands-on training during onboarding. Collaboration with more experienced team members and asking questions will also accelerate your learning and help you adapt quickly to the fast-paced, project-driven environment.

Sign Installer & Production Fabricator

The HR Dept LLC

Findlay, OH • On-site

$30 - $40/hr

Full-time

Re-posted 3 days ago


Job description

Are you an experienced sign installer who also enjoys the hands-on work of building and producing signs? Or are you a skilled sign production professional who is comfortable taking that work into the field?

We are looking for a Sign Installer & Production Fabricator to join our growing team. This is a hands-on position that combines shop production, sign fabrication, vinyl and graphics work, and field installation. The ideal candidate is someone who can confidently work in the shop but is equally comfortable loading up the truck and heading to a jobsite to get an installation completed correctly.

We create everything from vehicle wraps and wall murals to dimensional letters, channel letters, routed signs, and complete custom sign projects. No two projects are exactly alike, and you'll have the opportunity to work with a variety of materials, equipment, and installation environments.

What You'll DoField Installation
  • Install interior and exterior signs, graphics, vinyl, dimensional lettering, and other signage at customer locations

  • Install vehicle graphics and wraps as needed

  • Safely load, transport, and unload signs, tools, and installation materials

  • Measure and prepare installation locations to ensure proper placement and alignment

  • Use hand and power tools to complete installations

  • Work from drawings, specifications, measurements, and project instructions

  • Perform basic troubleshooting and problem-solving at the jobsite

  • Safely operate ladders, lifts, and other equipment required for installations

  • Represent the company professionally when working at customer locations

  • Work independently in the field while maintaining communication with the production team

Shop Production & Fabrication
  • Operate printers, plotters, laminators, routers, and other sign-production equipment

  • Produce vinyl graphics, lettering, signs, and other printed materials

  • Weed, mask, laminate, and apply vinyl graphics

  • Fabricate and assemble signs using a variety of materials and construction methods

  • Build dimensional letters, panels, displays, and other custom signage

  • Prepare completed signs and graphics for installation

  • Inspect finished products for quality, accuracy, and appearance

  • Maintain an organized, clean, and safe production area

  • Assist with inventory, materials, and general shop organization

Team & Project Support
  • Review project details and identify potential issues before production or installation

  • Communicate with team members regarding project requirements, timelines, and materials

  • Help keep projects moving efficiently from production through installation

  • Take pride in producing high-quality work and completing projects correctly the first time

  • Perform other related duties as needed

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is comfortable doing both shop and field work. You don't have to know everything about every type of sign, but you should bring real hands-on experience and the ability to learn.

Required / Preferred Qualifications
  • Previous experience in sign installation, sign production, fabrication, graphics, construction, or a related skilled trade

  • Experience installing signs, graphics, vinyl, wraps, or similar products

  • Ability to safely use hand tools and power tools

  • Ability to read measurements and follow installation instructions, drawings, or specifications

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to work independently at customer locations

  • Ability to work effectively as part of a production team

  • Strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship

  • Dependable, punctual, and willing to work with your hands

  • Ability to safely lift and move signs, materials, and equipment

  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

  • Ability to work from ladders and lifts and in various indoor and outdoor environments

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

  • Vehicle wraps

  • Large-format printing

  • Vinyl application

  • Channel letters

  • Dimensional lettering

  • Electrical sign installation

  • CNC routers

  • Sign fabrication

  • Wall murals

  • LED or illuminated signage

  • Lift equipment

What We Offer
  • $30–$40 per hour, depending on experience

  • Opportunities to develop both production and installation skills

  • Variety in the work — no two projects are exactly alike

  • Modern production equipment

  • A hands-on team environment

  • Opportunities for continued growth as your skills develop

Candidates with strong experience in both sign fabrication/production AND field installation will be considered at the top of the pay range.

The Ideal Candidate

The person who succeeds in this role isn't someone who only wants to work in the shop or someone who only wants to install.

We're looking for a well-rounded sign professional who can move comfortably between the two.

You might spend the morning running a printer, laminating graphics, or fabricating a sign — and spend the afternoon loading the truck and heading to a customer's location to install it.

If you enjoy building things, solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing a project go from raw materials to finished installation, we'd like to hear from you.

This position is being advertised and screened by The HR Dept LLC on behalf of our client.
