  • Oversee the storage, preservation, and labeling of graphics inventory for future use.
  • Maintain all graphics equipment in quality operating order, schedule routine maintenance, and coordinate vendor service to minimize downtime.
  • Implement and enforce Shepard’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and best practices.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe production environment and ensure compliance with all safety regulations.
  • Attend operations and event planning meetings and provide accurate production timelines, capacity updates, and recommendations.
  • Provide professional and responsive communications for graphics-related inquiries for internal and external customers.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years of wide-format print production experience, including at least 1 year supervising a print shop, sign shop, or production crew, preferably in the trade show industry or equivalent environment.
  • Must be able to operate and troubleshoot large-format printing, CNC routing, and laminating equipment, including EFI VUTEK, EFI FabriVu, and ZUND, and train operators to do the same.
  • Working knowledge of RIP software, file preflighting, and color management for print output.
  • Working knowledge of rigid substrates, vinyl, and fabric and how each behaves in print, cutting, and finishing.
  • Experienced in preparing graphics for installation through weeding, masking, trimming, and labeling, with additional capability to assist in light installation work.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with strong math skills for scheduling, material yield, and job costing.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
