About the Role
Carolina Signs and Wonders is looking for a detail-oriented Vinyl Graphics Installer to install graphics for businesses and commercial properties. Projects may include storefront and window graphics, wall graphics, door decals, lettering, wayfinding, and graphics applied to sign faces.
You’ll follow approved artwork and layouts, prepare surfaces, and install graphics neatly and accurately. This position focuses on installation rather than graphic design. It may also assist with other commercial sign installations and service calls as project schedules require.
What You’ll Do
- Install printed and cut vinyl graphics on windows, doors, walls, and sign faces.
- Review work orders, approved layouts, measurements, and materials before starting each installation.
- Prepare surfaces by cleaning them and removing old graphics or adhesive when included in the project scope.
- Measure, mark, align, and apply graphics using appropriate application methods and tools.
- Check for bubbles, wrinkles, lifting edges, misalignment, or damage before considering a job complete.
- Stop and notify the project manager or lead installer if the artwork, measurements, surface, or materials appear incorrect before applying the graphics.
- Carefully handle and protect printed graphics, signs, customer property, and finished work during loading, transportation, and installation.
- Communicate professionally with customers and other members of the installation team.
- Take job photos, report issues, and complete required job documentation.
- Keep tools, equipment, vehicles, and work areas clean and organized.
- Follow company safety procedures, including when working from ladders or aerial lifts.
Required Qualifications
- Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record.
- Able to travel to customer job sites and work occasional overtime or overnight trips as projects require.
- Able to use common hand tools and vinyl application tools safely, such as squeegees, utility knives, tape measures, levels, and heat guns.
- Able to perform the physical duties of the job, including working at heights when needed, with or without reasonable accommodation.
- Dependable, punctual, detail-oriented, and able to follow instructions and safety procedures.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience installing commercial vinyl graphics.
- Experience with storefront or window graphics, wall graphics, decals, lettering, or sign-face graphics.
- Familiarity with surface preparation, measuring and layout, application tape, and techniques for preventing bubbles, wrinkles, and misalignment.
- Sign installation, construction, print shop, or other hands-on experience.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay based on experience.
- Bonus opportunity.
- Medical benefits.
- 401(k) with company match.
- A supportive team environment and opportunities to grow with Carolina Signs and Wonders.
