We are looking for an experienced Exhibition Stand Project Manager to join our growing team at our East London headquarters.
We design, produce and deliver modular exhibition stands across the UK, with a strong focus on integrating technology such as LED walls, display screens, touchscreens and other AV solutions into our stands.
This is a varied, hands‑on position covering the full lifecycle of an exhibition project. You will work across design, estimating, sales, technical planning and project management, taking projects from the initial client brief through to successful installation on site.
This is not purely a desk‑based project management role. We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of how exhibition stands actually go together, who can develop practical solutions, communicate confidently with clients and take ownership of projects from start to finish.
Key Responsibilities
Manage exhibition stand projects from initial enquiry through to completion
Interpret client briefs and develop creative, practical and commercially viable solutions
Produce and develop exhibition stand designs using SketchUp
Prepare quotations, estimates and project specifications
Design and plan stands using Aluvision, beMatrix or similar modular framing systems
Specify stand components, graphics, furniture, lighting and AV requirements
Plan and manage SEG fabric graphics and other exhibition print
Integrate LED walls, TVs, touchscreens and other AV equipment into stand designs
Produce accurate equipment, stock and material requirements
Use Current RMS or similar hire/stock/project management software
Liaise directly with clients throughout the design and delivery process
Coordinate suppliers, production teams, warehouse staff and installation crews
Manage project budgets, schedules and deadlines
Prepare clear technical and production information for build teams
Identify and resolve technical, logistical and design issues
Manage multiple live exhibition projects simultaneously
Support exhibition installations and site activity when required
Ensure projects are delivered safely, accurately, on time and to a high standard
What We're Looking For
Previous professional experience within the exhibition stand industry is essential.
You should have strong experience in several of the following areas:
Modular exhibition systems, particularly Aluvision and/or beMatrix
SketchUp or comparable 3D design software
Exhibition stand project management
Exhibition stand estimating and costing
SEG graphics and exhibition print
AV and display technology
Hire, stock or project management software such as Current RMS
Production and installation planning
Client and supplier management
You will also need:
Excellent organisational and project management skills
Strong technical and practical understanding
Excellent attention to detail
Confident written and verbal communication
The ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast‑moving environment
A proactive approach to problem‑solving
The ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
A good understanding of how exhibition stands are manufactured, prepared and installed
The right to work in the UK
Experience in any of the following would be an advantage, but is not essential:
Exhibition stand sales and business development
AutoCAD or other CAD/design software
RAMS and venue documentation
Electrical and lighting specifications
Logistics and transport planning
UK exhibition venues and organiser requirements
Hands‑on modular stand building or installation experience
Why Join Us?
We are a fast‑growing exhibition company with a strong focus on combining modular exhibition systems with modern technology.
Rather than simply supplying conventional exhibition stands, we increasingly incorporate LED walls, digital displays, touchscreens and interactive technology to create modern and engaging exhibition environments.
This role offers the opportunity to be involved in the entire process. You won't simply be handed a project to administer – you'll have input into the design, technical solution, costing, client relationship and final delivery.
For someone with the right exhibition industry experience, there is significant opportunity to take ownership, develop within the business and play an important role as the exhibitions department continues to grow.
Working Hours
This is a full‑time, permanent, office‑based position at our East London headquarters, working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
Due to the nature of the exhibition industry, regular overtime and occasional evening, weekend or site work will be required, particularly around installations and busy periods.
On‑site parking is available.
Please note: Previous exhibition stand industry experience is essential for this position.
