Lead Sign Maker – Traffic Sign Production
Roadway Traffic Supplies Ltd. | Dieppe, New Brunswick
Permanent, full-time | On-site
$25–$29 per hour | 42.5 paid hours per week

VERIFIABLE SIGN-PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

Applicants must have at least three years of hands-on commercial sign-production experience and be able to independently produce finished signs from approved artwork and work orders.

Your résumé must identify the sign companies or production shops where you worked, your employment dates, and your production responsibilities. Your application must also identify the equipment and sign-making software you personally operated.

Relevant experience will be verified through an interview, employment references contacted with your permission, and a paid practical skills assessment before an offer is made.

Graphic design, general warehouse, printing outside sign production, or sign-installation experience alone does not meet this requirement. Orientation to our equipment, products, and procedures will be provided; foundational sign-making training will not.
