Job Description

At

Hi Signs

, we do things differently. As a full-stack experiential fabricator, we're not just making signs--we're building the systems that help people navigate the world around them. Whether it's architectural signage in Banff, wayfinding systems for hospitals, or traffic control signage through our

310-SIGN

division, we deliver smart, high-quality solutions that make a lasting impact.

We're looking for a

driven and detail-oriented Sign Fabricator

to join our team and help power the engine behind our 55,000-square-foot facility on the south side of Edmonton.

What Makes This Role Unique

Hi Signs operates several distinct brands--like

Banff Sign Co.

and

310-SIGN

--that all share one powerful engine: our

production team

. This position will work at the heart of that system, supporting both

custom fabrication projects

and

high-volume signage manufacturing

.

You'll have variety in your day--from welding architectural components to assembling sign structures. No two days are the same--and that's just how we like it.
