Ready to take the lead?

Are you a skilled sign maker or installer looking for more than just a production job? Do you want the autonomy to manage projects from the computer screen to the installation site?

At AlphaGraphics Tampa, we aren't just a print shop; we are a visual marketing partner for local businesses. We are expanding our Large Format division and looking for a Lead Signage Specialist to captain this ship.

If you have experience at a shop like FastSigns, Signarama, or an independent sign company, and you are ready for a role with better hours, professional clients, and state-of-the-art equipment, we want to meet you.

The Equipment You’ll Own

You won’t be fighting with outdated gear here. You will be operating a brand-new, top-tier production suite:

  • Epson S80600: (Eco-Solvent) for high-end vehicle and outdoor graphics.

  • Xante X-33: (Flatbed UV) for ADA braille signage and rigid substrates.

  • Graphtec Plotter & GFP Laminator: For precision finishing.

What You Will Be Doing

This is a hybrid role. You won’t be stuck in the back room all day. Your week will be a mix of production, project management, and on-site work.

  • Production & Finishing: Running the Epson and Xante, weeding vinyl, masking, laminating, and mounting prints to substrates (ACM, Coroplast, Acrylic, Foamcore).

  • Installation: heading out to client sites to install window graphics, wall murals, dimensional lettering, and vehicle graphics.

  • Site Surveys: Visiting clients to take measurements and photos, ensuring our sales team quotes the job correctly.

  • Pre-Press: Checking client files in Adobe Illustrator to ensure bleeds, cut lines, and colors are set up for success before you hit "print."

Who We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 3+ years in the sign industry is required. You should be comfortable working independently.

  • The "Hand Skills": You know how to mount a 4x8 board without bubbles, you can wrap a vehicle door handle, and you know the difference between cast and calendered vinyl.

  • The Tech Skills: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator/Photoshop) and RIP software (Onyx or similar).

  • The Attitude: You take pride in your work. You are a problem solver who catches errors before they are printed.

  • Must-Haves: A valid Driver’s License (for site visits) and reliable transportation.

Why Join AlphaGraphics Tampa?

  • Competitive Pay: We recognize that doing both production and installation is a specialized skill set, and we pay accordingly. Installation Bonus Pay

  • Growth Potential: You are the lead on this team. As we grow the sign department, your opportunities grow with it.

  • Great Culture: We work hard, but we operate with a professional B2B schedule (no late retail nights).

Apply Today! If you are ready to stop just "making signs" and start managing the department, apply now. Please include a brief note about the equipment you have worked with in the past.
Compensation: $20.00 - $24.00 per hour
