Print Production Specialist

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

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $60,000–$70,000
• Health benefits including medical, vision and life insurance
• Paid time off
• Company growth and leadership opportunities for high performers
