The Exhibit Project Manager is the central driver of MIG’s exposition projects—owning the full lifecycle from client engagement and proposal development through on-site execution and post-show close-out. This role demands a seasoned production professional who can manage budgets, timelines, design coordination, vendor relationships, and on-site crews across multiple concurrent projects, both in-office and on-site.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Manage multiple expo projects concurrently from planning through post-show close-out, ensuring all deliverables are met on time and within budget.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the full project lifecycle; guiding clients through MIG products and services. The size and scope of a given project will determine the necessary, account management duties required.

• Ensure technical accuracy and on-site readiness: rigging, power distribution, internet/data, ADA compliance, fire marshal regulations, and all venue and show management requirements.
• Oversee shipping, freight tracking, equipment logistics, labor scheduling, and install/dismantle oversight; manage exhibitor service orders through GSC portals and show contractor kits.
• Source, negotiate, and manage vendors including AV providers, rigging companies, EACs, and specialty contractors; schedule and book local union and non-union I&D labor as needed.
• Supervise on-site crews; serve as the central communication hub between the client, show management, official contractors, and MIG internal teams during event production.
• Ensure quality control, documentation, and time tracking on-site; conduct post-show damage inspections and close-out reporting.
• Conduct site visits at contracted or prospective venues to assess production feasibility and logistical requirements.
• Ascertain exhibitor requirements and manage all follow-up activities to ensure a successful event; account for all technical expenses including crew travel, per diem, shipping, and labor.
• Maintain compliance with internal file management, reporting standards, and project management platform usage (e.g., Exhibit Force or equivalent).

Qualifications:

• 3–7+ years of project management experience in trade show, exhibit fabrication, or live event production.
• Expert-level proficiency in Excel (budgets, formulas, linked templates).
• CAD proficiency: Vectorworks, AutoCAD, or similar for floor plan generation and revision.
