• Vinyl & Print Application: Expertly apply cut vinyl, wrap vinyl, and wide‑format prints to substrates and vehicles with high accuracy and no bubbles or wrinkles.
• Finishing & Equipment Operation: Set up and operate wide‑format laminators for encapsulation, over‑laminating, and mounting.

• The Right Mindset: An independent worker who thrives in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment, but values collaboration and team success.

This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of our center. Because this is a dual‑role position, you won’t just be stuck behind a screen or at a cutting table—you get the best of both worlds. As our center grows, this role offers natural leadership potential to help shape and eventually divide our design and production departments.
