Location: FASTSIGNS Portsmouth Position Type: Full-Time / Permanent Salary: £28,000 - £30,000 (dependent on experience)
The Opportunity: Build Something Brilliant FASTSIGNS Portsmouth is a busy, growing sign business, and we are looking for a Sign Maker and Installer to run our day-to-day production.
We aren't just an "old-school shop" where you'll follow the same tired routines; you'll be helping us set the standard for quality and creativity along the South Coast. As part of a global network of over 750 centres (and over 23 right here in the UK), you'll have the backing of a world-class brand while working in a tight-knit, agile, and forward-thinking local team.
The Role: What You'll Be Doing This is a truly varied role. One hour, you'll be operating a large-format printer, and the next, you'll be out on-site installing a storefront.
Key Responsibilities:
* Print & Production: Operating our large-format printers, plotters, and laminators to bring designs to life on a variety of materials.
* Installation: Taking the finished product to the client's premises and executing smaller installations such as window vinyls and static signage.
* Workflow Management: Managing the "RIP" software, ordering materials, and ensuring our quality control is second to none.
* Logistics: Packing, delivering, and occasionally managing the "paperwork" to keep projects on track.
What You Bring to the Team We need a "Swiss Army Knife" of a professional—someone who is technically skilled, physically capable, and ready to get stuck in.
* Technical Expertise: Experience in large-format print production is required, knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is a highly useful skill, but not essential.
* Hands-on Skills: Confidence using power tools and installing graphics (vehicle wrap or high-level signage experience is a massive plus).
* On the Road: A full UK driving licence is essential for site visits and installs.
* A Proactive Mindset: You are organised, great at managing your own time, and thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Crucially, you must also:
* Have a great sense of humor.
* Enjoy working with fun, hardworking people.

* Elite Training: Access to the FASTSIGNS UK training academy and network-wide support.
