About the Role
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

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.
How to Apply
Please apply with your CV, salary expectations, and earliest available start date. Where possible, we would also like to see examples of exhibition stands or projects you have previously designed, managed, or delivered.
Please note: Previous exhibition stand industry experience is essential for this position.
