  • Fabrication & Production
  • Operations
  • Logistics
  • Finance
  • Vendors and contractors
  • Show service providers
  • Installation & dismantle teams

You'll communicate timelines, decisions, risks, changes, and expectations clearly, especially when things get complicated.
What You'll Bring

We're looking for a senior project leader from the world of experiential, exhibits, fabrication, or live eventsnot simply someone with a generic project management background.

You have:
  • 10+ years of project management experience in tradeshow, exhibit, experiential marketing, event production, fabrication, or a closely related industry
  • A proven track record managing large, complex projects from concept through completion
  • Deep understanding of fabrication, production, installation, logistics, and live-event execution
  • Strong budget management, forecasting, cost tracking, and reconciliation skills
  • Experience managing vendors, contractors, transportation, and show-service partners
  • The ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and production specifications
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • Strong negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving abilities
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities without losing sight of the details
  • A proactive mindset and the confidence to make decisions under pressure
  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience

  • Custom exhibit fabrication
  • Experiential marketing
  • Branded environments
  • Trade shows and exhibitions
  • Corporate events
  • Large-scale live events
  • Installation & dismantle
  • Scenic fabrication
  • Complex logistics and transportation
  • Multi-vendor production environments
The Tools You'll Use
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office
  • Project management software
  • ERP/business systems such as Microsoft Dynamics or similar platforms
  • Budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and financial tracking tools
This Role Gets You Out of the Ordinary

You'll work on projects where the finished product isn't just delivered, it gets experienced.

You'll see your projects move from drawings and budgets to fabrication shops, loading docks, convention centers, and ultimately thousands of people walking through something your team helped create.
Ready to lead what's next?

Bring your experience. Bring your problem-solving instincts. Bring your ability to make complicated things happen.

Let's build something people remember.
