What You’ll Do

• Learn and operate sign production equipment — including large-format printers, vinyl plotters, and laminators (training provided).
• Communicate effectively with fabricators, installers, and team members to ensure project accuracy.
• Assist with shop duties and materials handling (must be able to lift up to 50 lbs).
• May occasionally work at our Washington, DC location as needed (located about 3 miles away).
