Summary
Signboard installers are specialists who safely and accurately install advertising signboards and signs on building exteriors, rooftops, in front of stores, and elsewhere.
Description
Signboard installers are specialized technicians who attach advertising signboards, guide signs, and illuminated signboards to the exteriors of commercial and public facilities. They measure dimensions during on-site surveys, install fittings and supports using scaffolding or cranes, secure the signboard body, and perform power wiring and waterproofing as needed. The work often involves outdoor and high-place operations, requiring strict adherence to safety rules and precise construction.
Future Outlook
Demand for advertising in stores and commercial facilities remains stable, but with the spread of LEDs and digital signage, demand is expected to increase for signboard installers with electrical work skills.
