  • Manage color output and consistency, and oversee the Graphics Sample Process for Show Look, client print samples, and color matching.
  • Oversee all graphics are produced, finished, packaged, and labeled to meet quality installation standards, and complete final quality checks before graphics leave the shop.

  • Track and document production status, material usage, waste, and reprints in Salesforce.
  • Order materials through the Purchase Order (PO) system per Shepard’s national substrate standards and allocate costs appropriately to jobs.
  • 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.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (e.g., Outlook, Word, and Excel); familiarity with Salesforce is a plus.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
