Full Time • Los Angeles

What You'll Actually Be Doing
This is a production floor role. Here's an honest look at where most of your time will go:
High-volume, daily work:
- Cutting rigid substrates on the flatbed cutter including Sintra, Styrene, Gator Board, Coroplast, and Foam Board to exact specifications.
- Laminating and mounting vinyl onto rigid boards with clean, bubble-free application.
- Hand trimming, weeding vinyl, and detail finishing work that requires steady hands and a sharp eye.
Regular work you will rotate through:
- Banner finishing including hemming, grommeting, and adding pole pockets.
- Mounting and laminating prints to acrylic, foam board, and specialty substrates for high-end client deliverables.
- Quality control checks on every finished piece before it ships or goes out for installation.
- Packing, kitting, and labeling finished goods for delivery or freight.
Occasional but important:
- Collaborating with print operators and project managers when specs or timelines need real-time adjustments.
- Equipment upkeep and keeping your workspace clean and organized.
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in large format print finishing or a related production environment.
- Solid proficiency operating industrial cutting tables and wide-format laminators.
- Comfort working with a range of rigid and flexible substrates including vinyl, mesh, canvas, styrene, Sintra, and coroplast.
- Ability to read and interpret job tickets, diagrams, and technical specifications without hand-holding.
- Strong hand-eye coordination and genuine attention to detail. Precision is not optional here.
- Physically capable of the role: lifting 50+ lbs, standing for extended periods, bending and reaching throughout the shift.
- Reliable, punctual, and a strong team player who keeps production moving.
Preferred Skills
- Industrial sewing experience for banners and fabric graphics including hemming, pole pockets, and silicone edge gaskets (SEG). Not required, but a real advantage.
- Experience with automated cutting software and file preparation.
- Knowledge of proper packing and crating techniques for freight and large-scale shipping.
- Forklift certification or experience.
Compensation: $21.00 - $28.00 per hour
