Job description

Exhibit Carpenter / Display Fabricator

Exhibit Associates | North Kansas City, MO (Near Chicken N' Pickle)

Full-Time

For nearly 50 years, Exhibit Associates has been designing and building custom trade show exhibits, museum displays, branded environments, corporate interiors, and one-of-a-kind projects. No two weeks look the same.

One day you might be building a museum exhibit.

The next, you're fabricating a trade show booth headed to Las Vegas. Or assembling one at Bartle Hall!

Then you're helping install a corporate lobby or creating something nobody has built before.

Oh, and then a Event Based Brand Activation at Stadium!

If you enjoy building things that people stop and admire, you'll fit right in.

Before You Apply...

Answer these three questions honestly:

✔ Can you read a tape measure accurately?

✔ Can you show up on time every day?

✔ Can you solve problems when the plans don't perfectly match reality?

If you answered "yes" to all three, keep reading.

What You'll Do

You'll work alongside our fabrication team building custom projects that represent some of the biggest brands in the country.

Projects include:

  • Trade show exhibits
  • Museum exhibits
  • Corporate interiors
  • Retail displays
  • Custom cabinetry
  • Reception desks
  • Display cases
  • Brand environments
  • Signage and specialty projects

You'll:

  • Read shop drawings and fabrication plans
  • Cut, assemble, laminate, and finish projects
  • Operate woodworking equipment safely
  • Build projects that meet high quality standards
  • Work with designers and project managers
  • Load and occasionally install projects on site
  • Help solve problems when every custom project throws a curveball
We're Looking For Someone Who...
  • Takes pride in their work
  • Enjoys building custom projects
  • Can work independently
  • Pays attention to details
  • Is dependable
  • Doesn't wait to be told every next step
  • Wants to keep learning

Experience with cabinetry, commercial millwork, exhibits, museum fabrication, finish carpentry, or custom woodworking is a big plus.

Experience with CNC equipment is helpful but not required.

Requirements
  • Ability to read drawings and shop plans
  • Ability to safely operate woodworking equipment
  • Able to lift 50 pounds
  • Valid driver's license
  • Willingness to occasionally travel for installations
What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Union membership after the initial employment period
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid time off
  • Interesting projects that are different every week
  • A team that values craftsmanship over cutting corners
Why Exhibit Associates?

We don't build the same thing over and over.

Every project is different.

Every client has a new challenge.

Every finished project becomes something thousands of people will see.

If you're looking for work you can be proud of, we'd like to meet you.
