About Madison Graphics

Madison Graphics is a 3M-certified vehicle wrap and window tint shop based in Sun Prairie, WI, operating since 2012. We work with commercial fleets, small businesses, and individual vehicle owners to deliver high-quality wraps, tint, and graphics.

Work Environment

This is an on-site position at our Sun Prairie shop. You’ll work in a front office/reception setting adjacent to an active production shop. It’s a dynamic, physical environment — expect some noise and shop activity. The role is largely desk/phone-based but you’ll occasionally walk the shop floor to check on jobs, greet customers at their vehicles, or assist with receiving materials.

We work hard, we take pride in what we build, and we have a good time doing it. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
