About the Role

As part of our billboard construction and operations crew, you will bring outdoor advertising campaigns to life for brands in Knoxville, TN, and the surrounding areas.

You will experience the city from above while building and maintaining the structures that keep communities informed. This role is action-packed and offers a unique blend of adventure and teamwork.

A Day in the Life

Your day will involve working alongside the Operations team to install and maintain billboards, prioritizing safety at all times. Installation typically involves handling large vinyl advertisements and ensuring they are properly assembled to the billboard structure. You will work on structures reaching up to 200 feet, requiring comfort with heights.

Maintenance duties include construction work such as tightening bolts, painting steel structures, repairing trim, changing light bulbs, and conducting storm damage repairs. You will use power and manual tools to cut brush, perform minor electrical repairs, and maintain a clean workshop area. The role requires documenting installations through photographs and written logs to ensure proof of performance.
