What are the responsibilities and job description for the Print Production Specialist position at Headline Inc.?
Headline is a fast-growing event production, fabrication, and experiential company that builds large-scale brand moments, festivals, concerts, and immersive environments. We design it, print it, build it, and bring it to life. Our print team is central to that process — executing graphics that show up on stages, tents, containers, vehicles, signage, branded spaces, and custom builds across major events.
We’re looking for a Print Production Specialist who can take projects from concept to output: pre-press file prep, color matching, print operation, finishing, and on-site installation. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on production environment, pays attention to detail, and knows how to deliver clean professional results every time.
Responsibilities
- Prepare and manipulate graphics for large-format print (banners, wraps, signage, vinyl, decals, rigid substrate, etc.)
- Strong understanding of CMYK, Pantone, and color correction for consistent brand delivery
- Work with and create vector graphics suitable for large-scale environments
- Operate large-format printers, laminators, plotters, CNC, and laser machinery (CNC/laser experience is a plus, not required)
- Perform trim, lamination, mounting, and finishing techniques with precision
- Plan installations and conduct site surveys, measurements, and field notes
- Install and apply prints to various surfaces (walls, windows, vehicles, stages, containers, etc.)
- Manage sourcing, purchasing, inventory, and material forecasting
- Support pre-production planning and post-production cleanup and organization
- Assist with project estimating, budgeting, invoicing, and internal job tracking
- Work efficiently and maintain quality under tight deadlines — especially during event weeks
- Collaborate with fabrication, design, and production leadership to ensure timelines and standards are met
Requirements
- 3 years experience in large-format print production or similar environment
- Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and RIP/pre-press workflows
- Strong working knowledge of vinyl application and installation
- Capable of lifting, loading, and working hands-on during builds and installations
- Comfortable working long days or extended hours during live event periods
- Self-motivated, reliable, organized, and detail-oriented
- Valid driver’s license (ability to drive box trucks or operate equipment is a plus)
Bonus Skills
- CNC router and/or CO2 laser cutter operation
- Carpentry or fabrication experience
- Vehicle wrap or high-precision vinyl install background
- Experience in live events, staging, signage, or touring environments
