Purpose

Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is seeking a creative and detail-oriented Sign Production and Installation Technician to support the department’s signage and visual communication needs. This is a hands-on, physically active role that combines graphic design with regular signage production, placement, equipment operation, and coordination. Reporting to the Assistant Director of Communications, the technician is responsible for designing, producing, installing, and overseeing signage and marketing materials across campus. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys physical, hands-on work and has strong technical skills operating and troubleshooting wide-format printers and signage equipment. It is not a traditional office-based or design-only role. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated team player who thrives in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment and can manage multiple projects while collaborating with others.

Responsibilities

Create signage placement maps and schedules and coordinate with other team members to ensure timely and accurate deployment and retrieval. Maintain a catalog of design templates, assets, and fonts for shared team use. Stay up-to-date with MUTCD and DOT signage standards and ensure compliance. Ensure all signage aligns with University branding guidelines.
• Operate wide-format printers, RIP software, and tools to produce and assemble signs (e.g., vinyl application, coroplast mounting, decals). Maintain equipment, order materials, and arrange servicing or repairs as needed.
• Place and remove signage across ca
