Sign Fabricator / Cabinet Builder
AI Summary
A hands-on fabricator builds custom illuminated and non-illuminated sign cabinets, cladding, faces, frames, and components from shop drawings, using layout, cutting, assembly, and finishing.
About this role
Onsite Sign Group has been designing and building landmarks across Western Canada since 1993. From a two-person garage operation to a 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, we now employ over 60 people across 7 cities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Our Lloydminster facility is the manufacturing heart of the company — every custom project moves through design, CNC, fabrication, paint, assembly, and shipping before it is installed across the Prairies.
We are hiring hands-on fabricators to build illuminated and non-illuminated sign cabinets, cladding, faces, frames, and custom components. Everything we build is custom — no production lines, no repetition, real craftsmanship on projects you will see standing across the Prairies for decades.
If you are a cabinet builder or finish carpenter, read this twice. Sign fabrication is precision box-building: exact layout, square assemblies, tight tolerances, clean finishing. Your skills transfer directly. We are equally interested in people from cabinetmaking, custom millwork, exhibit building, or other accurate build-to-drawing work — you bring the precision, and we will teach you our materials and methods.
What You'll Do
• Read shop drawings, work orders, cut lists, and job specifications.
• Measure, mark, cut, drill, route, bend, bond, rivet, and fasten parts accurately.
• Build square, clean, and serviceable sign cabinets, faces, retainers, frames, and custom assemblies.
• Work with aluminum extrusion, sheet aluminum, ACM, acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, wood products, plastics, and adhesives.
• Use saws, drills, routers, sanders, brakes, shears, hand tools, and assembly equipment safely.
• Dry-fit components and complete in-process checks before work moves to paint or assembly.
• Identify missing material, drawing conflicts, or fit-up issues before they delay the next department.
• Complete finishing, cleanup, labelling, and required production records.
• Maintain tools and a clean, organized work area.
What We're Looking For
• Experience in fabrication, cabinetmaking, custom millwork, carpentry, exhibit building, or a comparable trade.
• Able to read drawings and work accurately from measurements.
• Confident using hand and power tools.
• Strong attention to fit, finish, and small details.
• Able to lift and move materials and stand for a full shift.
• Reliable, safety-minded, and comfortable working as part of a production team.
Experience That Is an Asset
• Cabinet-building or custom-millwork experience — a direct fit for this work.
• Sign-cabinet, aluminum-extrusion, plastics, or sheet-metal experience.
• Basic MIG or TIG welding and forklift experience.
What We Offer
• $24–$34 per hour, based on demonstrated experience and ability.
• Health and dental benefits after the successful completion of the probationary period.
• Full-time, year-round work — Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. — home every night.
• Practical training and a real path to advancement — we promote from within.
• Stable, growing company with over 30 years in business.
Photos of past work — cabinets, builds, finished projects — are welcome with your application and will get our attention.
