Stage Shop Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you a skilled production professional who wants to be part of building something from the ground up?

We’re looking for a Production Specialist who takes real pride in their craft and is ready to play a foundational role in a growing, full-service sign and graphics operation. This isn’t a role where you clock in, run a job, and clock out. You’ll be a core part of a small, capable team, working directly with ownership in the early stage of our business, which means your habits, your standards, and your initiative will help shape how our shop runs.

The work is varied and hands-on: production and finishing in the shop, installs in the field. You’ll be operating equipment, preparing substrates, finishing printed pieces, and getting them out the door, then turning around and installing signage/graphics or applying vehicle graphics. If you thrive when given real responsibility, take ownership of your work, and want to grow with a business that’s building something, we want to hear from you.

• Assist with any production area as needed, in an early-stage shop, flexibility and initiative matter
• Participate in ongoing and monthly inventory procedures and assist with material tracking

• Adhere to all safety standards, policies, and procedures

QUALIFICATIONS

• Hands-on experience in sign, print, or graphics production
• Proficiency in operating large-format printers, plotters/cutters, and lamination equipment

• Sign and/or graphic installation experience: vehicle decals, wall graphics, window film, or similar applications
• Ability to work at a productive pace while maintaining close attention to detail
• Comfortable juggling multiple jobs simultaneously and adapting quickly to shifting priorities
• A self-starter mindset sees what needs to be done and does it without waiting to be told
