  • Coordinate across departments using our project systems to ensure details are tracked and nothing is missed.
  • Tackle challenges head-on—troubleshoot problems, anticipate risks, and provide proactive solutions.
  • Support our global estimating efforts by preparing detailed and accurate estimates.
  • Collaborate with design teams on materials, finishes, and sourcing to ensure feasibility and quality.
  • Create and maintain implementation plans, work-back schedules, and vendor communications.
  • Oversee subcontractors and suppliers, coordinating services and generating purchase orders as needed.
  • Guide and mentor junior team members, particularly Project Coordinators.
  • Participate in post-project reviews and identify opportunities for improvement.

What You Bring

  • A passion for production, process, and people—you thrive on building things and making them happen.
  • 5–10 years of experience in the exhibit, events, or experiential marketing industry (or similar project-based field).
  • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Ability to read and interpret CAD drawings and a basic understanding of structural mechanics.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple fast-paced projects.
  • Solid understanding of production materials, trade show regulations, and industry best practices.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and familiarity with project management tools.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills—you’re a team player who builds strong relationships with clients and colleagues.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours and travel as needed.
