    • Managing graphic-related issues on-site and escalating when required
    • Reviewing show books, floorplans, schematics, and proofs prior to site arrival
    • Ensuring branding consistency, installation quality, and adherence to show standards
  • Cross-train in other areas of the Creative Production and Graphics departments
  • Train and mentor team members on equipment use, production standards, and installation best practices
  • Support warehouse, logistics, and load-out activities as needed
  • Participate in team meetings and contribute to process and efficiency improvements

Work Environment & Physical Demands
This position is full-time and in-person, requiring on-site support at trade show events and in other Heritage facilities, including overnight travel and weekend/extended work hours based on event schedules.
