• Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors, and external partners
• Manage estimating, quoting, budgeting, and overall cost control
• Assist in planning and improving business processes
• Ensure compliance with Health & Safety requirements and equipment maintenance

About You

• 3–5 years’ experience in the signage, large-format print, or related industry is essential.
• Strong understanding of sign manufacturing processes, materials, equipment, and installation methods
• Experience managing teams in a production or operations environment
• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail
