Installation Specialist, Full Time
FASTSIGNS of Akron
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced installer who wants to own the field side of our business, not ride along on it. You’ll run installs from site visit to final walkthrough, operate our install truck, and be the person responsible for keeping our installation equipment ready to go. If you take pride in doing it right the first time and want more responsibility than a helper role offers, we want to talk to you.
What you’ll do
- Lead on-site installation of various signs including channel letters, cabinets, panel signs and others including light electrical work.
- Perform advance site visits and relay what production and sales need for accurate quoting and fabrication.
- Work with sales to estimate labor time and set realistic deadlines, and keep customers and staff informed as projects move.
- Work with management on the installation schedule and meet the commitments in it.
- Conduct quality checks so every job is installed correctly and completely.
- Operate the company installation truck, van/lift and handle routine maintenance and minor repairs on vehicles and installation equipment.
- Follow industry safety practices and operate all tools and equipment safely.
- Track installation inventory and flag reorder needs.
- Pitch in with sign production, material handling, and shop upkeep when the schedule allows.
What we’re looking for
- Some experience with sign installation, construction, or skilled trades
- Comfortable with power tools, ladders, scaffolding, and hydraulic lifts
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
- Mechanically inclined, the kind of person who notices when equipment needs attention and fixes it
- Organized, reliable, and professional with customers
- Able to manage several projects at once
Physical requirements
Lift 75+ lbs; stand, kneel, and climb for extended periods; work outdoors in a range of weather conditions.
