Signage Production Manager / Engineering Production Manager

The Signage Production Manager is responsible for converting client requirements, approved designs, site conditions and project drawings into practical, buildable and installation-ready signage solutions. The role covers product identification, technical coordination, shop drawing review, material selection, fabrication planning, engineering coordination and final execution control until the project is delivered correctly on site.

Main Responsibilities1. Product & Solution Identification

• Understand client requirements, project scope, site conditions and approval comments.
• Identify the correct signage product type, material, lighting method, fixing system and fabrication approach.
• Propose practical solutions for indoor and outdoor signage, wayfinding, branding, illuminated signs, pylons, totems, wall signs, acrylic signs, vinyl graphics and custom sign structures.
• Evaluate whether the proposed design is technically buildable, safe, durable and suitable for the location.
• Coordinate with sales, design and project teams to make sure the offered solution matches the final execution method.

2. Drawing Reading & Technical Review

• Read architectural drawings, elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans, structural details and site layouts.
• Review client drawings, consultant comments, mall management comments and authority requirements.
• Check dimensions, fixing locations, material thicknesses, lighting details, access requirements and installation limitations.
• Identify missing information before fabrication starts.
• Mark up drawings clearly for designers, draftsmen, fabricators and installers.

3. Shop Drawings & Engineering Coordination

• Guide the preparation of signage shop drawings, fabrication drawings, section details and installation details.
• Ensure drawings show correct dimensions, materials, structural support, fixing methods, wiring paths, access panels and finishing requirements.
• Coordinate with structural engineers when load calculations, support frames, wind load checks or special fixing details are required.
• Review and approve internal drawings before submission or production.
• Make sure approved drawings are practical for fabrication and installation, not just visually acceptable.

4. Fabrication & Production Management

• Plan production workflow based on approved drawings, project deadlines and material availability.
• Coordinate with CNC, laser cutting, welding, acrylic, ACP, painting, vinyl, LED and assembly teams.
• Issue clear production instructions to the factory team.
• Check material usage, cutting sizes, finishes, lighting components and assembly methods.
• Monitor production quality at each stage to avoid rework, wrong sizes, poor finishing or installation failure.
• Ensure fabricated items match approved drawings and client specifications.

5. Material & Technical Specification Control

• Select suitable materials such as ACP, acrylic, stainless steel, aluminium, GI, MS structure, vinyl, LEDs, drivers and fixing accessories.
• Check thickness, finish, durability, illumination, waterproofing and safety requirements.
• Confirm that materials are suitable for indoor, outdoor, mall, retail, office, façade or roof installations.
• Coordinate with suppliers for technical data, samples and availability.
• Control substitutions and make sure any material change is technically acceptable before use.

6. Project Execution & Site Coordination

• Conduct site surveys when needed to verify dimensions, structure, access and installation conditions.
• Coordinate with project managers and installation teams before site execution.
• Ensure installers understand the approved fixing method, alignment, levels, wiring route and safety requirements.
• Solve site issues related to structure, access, concealed fixing, lighting, alignment or unexpected site conditions.
• Inspect completed installations and confirm that the final work matches the approved drawings and required finish.
