Experienced Signage Production All-Rounder

Experienced Signage Production All-Rounder

Full-time | Pooraka, Adelaide
Predominantly in-house production | Only occasional installation support

Do you have experience in the signage industry and enjoy the hands-on production side of turning approved artwork into a finished product?

Signs SA / Signarama Salisbury is looking for an experienced and practically minded Signage Production All-Rounder to join our growing production team.

This is a predominantly in-house, workshop-based position. Most of your time will be spent producing, finishing, assembling and quality-checking signage in our Pooraka facility.

You may occasionally assist our installation team during busy periods or on suitable projects, but this is not primarily an installation role.

About us

Signs SA / Signarama Salisbury is an established South Australian signage business with 20+ full-time employees.

Our team provides complete signage solutions, managing projects from consultation and design through to print, production, project management and installation. Our work ranges from individual business signage and vehicle graphics through to major commercial developments, national rollouts and complete rebrands.

We have invested significantly in our in-house production capabilities, including:

• Canon Colorado roll-to-roll printing

• HP Latex 630 roll-to-roll printing

• HP Latex R2000 flatbed and roll-to-roll printing

• CNC router

• Laser cutting equipment

• Two flatbed application tables

• Two laminators

• Vinyl plotter

• Summa digital cutting table

• Forklift and scissor lift equipment

You do not need to have operated every machine listed. Training can be provided on our specific equipment for someone with the right signage background, practical ability and willingness to learn.

About the role

Working closely with our Production and Operations leaders, you will help move signage projects efficiently from approved artwork through to completed production.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reading and interpreting approved proofs, job tickets, production notes, drawings and measurements

• Producing and finishing a broad range of commercial signage products

• Operating or assisting with wide-format printers, laminators, plotters and digital cutting equipment

• Laminating, trimming, weeding, taping, mounting and applying printed graphics and vinyl

• Applying graphics to ACM, acrylic, corflute, PVC and other signage substrates

• Operating CNC router and laser equipment based on your experience and training

• Assisting with the assembly and finishing of flat-panel, fabricated, illuminated, wayfinding, retail and display signage

• Checking dimensions, spelling, colours, materials, quantities and overall finish

• Preparing completed signage for packaging, dispatch or installation

• Helping organise production priorities and completing work within agreed deadlines

• Undertaking basic machine care, cleaning and routine maintenance

• Keeping materials, consumables and the production area clean and organised

• Working safely and following established workplace health and safety procedures

• Occasionally assisting with local signage installation when required

What we’re looking for

Previous hands-on experience within the signage industry is important and will be a key part of our selection process.

This is not intended to be an entry-level general labouring position. We are particularly interested in someone who understands signage materials, production methods and the importance of getting every detail right before a job leaves the workshop.

Ideally, you will have experience across several of the following areas:

• Signage production or signmaking

• Large-format digital printing

• Laminating and print finishing

• Vinyl cutting, weeding and application

• Mounting graphics to rigid substrates

• CNC router, laser or digital cutting-table operation

• Sign assembly and general workshop production

• Working from proofs, plans, drawings and measurements

• Quality control and preparation for installation

You will also bring:

• Strong attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work

• Good practical, mechanical and problem-solving ability

• The ability to manage multiple jobs and changing priorities

• A reliable and organised approach to work

• Basic computer confidence and the ability to learn production software

• Good communication skills and a willingness to work as part of a larger team

• The ability to work independently once trained

• A current Australian driver’s licence

• Legal Australian working rights

• The ability to safely complete the manual-handling requirements of the position

A Certificate III in Signs and Graphics, forklift licence, White Card or EWP/scissor-lift ticket would be highly regarded but is not essential.

What we offer

• A permanent, full-time position based in Pooraka

• A predominantly in-house production role with minimal site installation

• Access to an extensive range of modern signage-production equipment

• Varied work across commercial signage, retail, vehicles, events, workplaces and major projects

• The opportunity to broaden your skills across print, cutting, finishing and signage manufacturing

• An established and growing South Australian business

• A supportive team of more than 20 full-time employees

• Competitive remuneration based on your skills and experience

• Training on equipment you have not previously operated

• A stable, long-term career opportunity for the right person
