Help prevent projects from stalling because of missing information or lack of follow-up. What We Are Looking For The right person for this position is someone who naturally asks: “What needs to happen next, who needs to do it, and what can I do to make sure it gets completed?” Completion oriented — doesn’t just start tasks; finishes them. Highly organized — can manage multiple projects, estimates, priorities, and deadlines. Proactive — follows up without having to be reminded. Detail oriented — understands that small details can have a major impact on a project. A strong communicator — communicates clearly with customers and coworkers. Accountable — takes ownership of responsibilities and follows through. Resourceful — works to find answers and solutions instead of simply identifying problems. Team focused — understands that their role helps every department perform better. Comfortable with urgency — can prioritize and keep things moving in a fast-paced environment.

Sign industry, construction, architectural products, manufacturing, or related experience is a plus. Ability to read and understand drawings, plans, measurements, and specifications is preferred.
