Applicants must be fluent in reading floor plans and be able to use levels, drills, hammer drill, rotary hammer drills, measuring tools, ladders, caulk guns, grinders, saws and apply for a lift certificate. Most of Adcorp's work involves attaching room signs to the walls with double face tape and silicone adhesive or mechanical fasteners in drywall, cmu, brick, metal panels, etc. There will be some installations requiring interior or exterior lifts to stud mount metal or plastic letters to various types of walls. Exterior heights typically do not exceed 2 stories. A helper or temporary labor will be provided, as needed. On days when the applicant will not be required to do installations, they will be asked to help out in the shop, where they may learn new skills, shop cleaning and carpentry work.

Overtime is not typically allowed, but our job sites can be located 1 to 1.5 hours away from the shop, which may accrue overtime. Adcorp tries to work at least 7.5 hours on the site, not including the time to drive to and from the site. The applicant may be asked to work half days on Friday or Monday, to curb overtime hours. It is important for the installer to be well rested when driving the van and operating lifts, tools, etc. Estimated starting pay is $31/hr - $45/hr, depending on the applicant's experience level and what skills they bring to the table. Most jobs will be subject to wage scale pay. Adcorp is looking for a lead sign installer with vast experience in attaching signs to various walls and substrates, that has knowledge of wall types, attachments, specialized hardware and wind loads. We also would consider hiring an installer with experience installing electric signs and LED boards. We do provide LED boards on some of our jobs but typically sub this work out to qualified terms. Benefits include 401K and 2 weeks of paid vacation after 6 months of employment. A 3rd week of vacation shall be added after 2 years of employment and a 4th week after 4 years. 4 hour paid holidays.
