The Sign, POS and Display production industry’s skills shortage is creating big problems for businesses across Australia. Industry recruiter James Cryer of JDA Print Recruitment told wideformatonline: “We have about a dozen vacancies on our books at the moment, all in sign and display, and we just don’t have enough applicants. Some owner-operators are tearing their hair out to get skilled people.”
Businesses in country areas are particularly vulnerable as the skills pool is much smaller than in the cities. Filling the positions may involve relocation. Here are just a few of the currently available positions – if you are interested and have the skills, apply now!
