Fabricator/Maker

Bring your ingenuity. Build something you’re proud of.

Imaginality Designs | Golden Valley, MN | Full-time, on-site

Enjoy making things, solving practical problems, and learning new ways to build? We’re looking for a resourceful, hands-on fabricator who embraces a variety of technologies, materials and tools.

Be part of the bigger picture. You’ll see how your work connects with the entire project—from the first idea to installation—and how what we create helps people find their way, makes spaces accessible, tells stories, and brings places to life.

Imaginality Designs creates custom signage and environmental graphics, with more than 40 years of experience turning creative ideas into finished environments. We’re a small team, and our work spans everything from dimensional signs and wayfinding to architectural features and storytelling displays.

You’ll contribute throughout the process—from figuring out how something goes together to fabrication, finishing, assembly, and installation. We value craftsmanship, curiosity, and follow-through.

What You’ll Do

• Review project drawings, verify dimensions, and help develop practical fabrication solutions.

• Assist with site surveys and field measurements as needed.

• Prepare or adjust production files as your skills allow.

• Build samples and prototypes to test materials, finishes, and assembly methods.

• Fabricate custom signage—including ADA, dimensional, and wayfinding signs—along with displays and architectural elements.

• Work with aluminum, ACM, acrylic, wood, vinyl, and other materials, using hand and power tools, a CNC router, laser, digital printing equipment, and a 3D printer.

• Complete finishing and assembly with attention to accuracy, fit and appearance.

• Troubleshoot production challenges and check finished work for quality.

• Assist with installation if needed.

• Maintain tools and equipment, keep work areas organized, and help improve production processes.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in sign fabrication, exhibit building, woodworking, cabinetmaking, or a related hands-on field.

• Mechanical aptitude and confidence working with a variety of techniques, tools and equipment.

• An interest in technology and a willingness to learn new equipment and software.

• Careful measuring, attention to detail, and pride in fit and finish.

• Resourcefulness and the ability to move between projects and tasks.

• Clear communication, reliability, and strong follow-through.

• Safe work habits and respect for tools, materials and teammates.

Skills

• Digital printing, vinyl application, CNC routing, laser cutting or 3D printing.

• Creative Cloud, Adobe Illustrator, CAD, SketchUp, or other design and production software.

• Reading architectural drawings and preparing shop drawings.

• Sign installation and familiarity with mounting methods and hardware.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience.

• Health insurance and 401(k) match.

• Paid holidays and PTO.

• Opportunity to grow, contribute ideas, and see the results of your work in the built environment.
