Spanish term or phrase: monoposte
Hi everyone,

This is from A Spanish architect's CV. The author wants UK English. In one of the sections about projects it lists the name a of major retail outlet and the following :

(Name of retailer), 2000-2001

Adecuación interior de un local, en XXXXX, de XXXXX m2.
Posición
Director de Proyecto
- Redacción de Proyecto
- Dirección de obra de la adecuación interior del local
- Realización de las mediciones
- Proyecto de *monoposte* y tramitación de licencia de vados.

Given the context I think they are talking about monopostes publicitarios: http://www.monopostes.com/

What would we say in English? Is it just a billboard? Thank you everyone

Thank you Nikki!

agree  Charles Davis: I think this is what it must be referring to. I can't find any other likely meaning of "monoposte". // It's definitely right if it means one of those advertising hoardings, and it surely can't mean anything else.
