About Us
FASTSIGNS is a locally owned sign and visual communications business with shops in Bellevue and Issaquah. We have the resources of the FASTSIGNS national network, but we run like a small team where your work is seen and matters. We help businesses across Washington get noticed with everything from banners and interior graphics to vehicle wraps, dimensional signage, and building signs. We're growing and need a hands-on Production Manager to lead our shop floor.
What You'll Do
- Oversee production for both our Bellevue and Issaquah locations, working on-site from Issaquah
- Lead, train, and supervise a production team of three
- Set daily production priorities and manage job flow to hit deadlines
- Run equipment hands-on as needed (expect roughly half your time on the floor, half managing)
- Own quality control so every job leaves the shop right the first time
- Schedule installations and coordinate with installers and project managers
- Work with project managers and designers to resolve file, material, and timeline issues
- Keep equipment maintained and running, and flag supply and repair needs
- Find ways to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and protect job margins
What We're Looking For
- 1+ year of experience in sign, print, or graphics production
- Experience leading or supervising a team preferred
- Hands-on experience with wide-format production equipment, ideally including:
- Roll-to-roll printers (Epson preferred)
- Flatbed UV printers
- Laminators
- CNC routers (Colex a plus)
- Laser cutters/engravers
- Solid understanding of materials, substrates, finishing, and application
- Sharp eye for quality and detail
- Organized and calm under pressure, able to juggle shifting priorities across two shops
- Clear communicator who leads by example
- CoreBridge or similar shop management software experience is a plus
- Able to lift 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
