Advertising Sign Maker

Your mission

Our client is a family-owned SME active in the field of advertising production, signage, signs, and decoration.

As part of strengthening its team, we are looking for an experienced advertising sign maker, with a strong field orientation, capable of autonomously handling manufacturing, assembly, and installation work.

This is not a position centered on graphics, visual creation, or pre-press. We are primarily looking for a skilled professional who appreciates concrete work in the workshop and on construction sites.

On a daily basis, you will notably be required to:

• prepare and manufacture various advertising supports;
• perform the application of adhesive films on windows, panels, facades, signs, and other supports;
• assemble and install panels, illuminated or non-illuminated signs, cut letters, lightboxes, signage, and directional elements;
• perform reliable measurements directly on site;
• prepare surfaces and select appropriate installation methods;
• choose and implement appropriate fastening systems;
• prepare material, tools, and vehicles before interventions;
• organize your construction sites and anticipate potential technical difficulties;
• perform necessary checks and finishing before and after installation;
• participate in maintaining an organized, clean, and functional workshop;
• support and transmit your expertise to apprentices and less experienced collaborators.

You will also intervene in various practical tasks requiring versatility: small carpentry work, cutting and assembling panels, drilling, riveting, bolting, metal adaptations, as well as certain simple interventions on LED and low voltage installations.

Your profile
You hold a CFC in advertising sign making or an equivalent training.

Ideally, you have at least 3 years of professional experience after your training and possess recent and concrete experience both in the workshop and in outdoor installation.

A candidacy without a CFC may also be considered if you possess particularly solid and demonstrable practical experience in the field.

You master notably:

• dry and wet application of adhesive films;
• assembly and installation of signs and signage;
• fastening techniques on various supports;
• reading plans, sketches, and production sheets;
• common use of power tools;
• small carpentry and assembly work;
• work on construction sites and at heights.

You are comfortable using ladders, rolling scaffolding, aerial platforms, and elevating platforms and attach particular importance to compliance with safety rules.

You are recognized for your autonomy, your organization, and your ability to anticipate. You like to finish a job down to the details and are attentive to the quality of the finishes.

Methodical and reliable, you are capable of managing several tasks in a single day, prioritizing, and adapting to program changes inherent to the operation of an SME.

You also appreciate teamwork and know how to transmit your knowledge with patience and pragmatism.

Furthermore, you have:

• good physical condition compatible with a manual trade and handling work;
• very good command of French;
• a valid category B driver's license;
• a valid authorization to work in Switzerland.

Geographical proximity to the Gros-de-Vaud region constitutes an advantage, notably due to travel and occasional constraints related to construction sites.

The following skills constitute additional assets:

• vehicle marking and branding;
• partial or complete covering;
• application of solar, frosted, or technical films;
• assembly and disassembly of stands;
• experience with illuminated signs;
• knowledge in LED and low voltage;
• coordination of a small team on site;
• experience in supervising apprentices.

We offer you

You will join a family SME in which versatility, autonomy, and the involvement of everyone play a central role.

The position offers varied activity between the workshop and construction sites, with different projects daily and a real possibility of becoming a reference person within the team.

We are primarily looking for a person who loves their job, who wishes to remain active in the field, and who takes pleasure in producing, assembling, installing, and finding concrete solutions.
