Turn visionary ideas into unforgettable experiences.

As our CAD Detailing Manager (Events), you'll lead the team that transforms creative concepts into real-world environments that captivate audiences and bring brands to life. Working at the intersection of design, engineering, and production, you'll oversee the development of precise, build-ready CAD/CAM documentation that powers high-profile trade shows, immersive activations, and permanent installations.

This is more than a management role-it's an opportunity to shape how ambitious ideas move from concept to reality while building and developing a high-performing detailing team.

• Manage and mentor a team of CAD Detailers across fulfillment centers and freelance resources.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
• Recruit, develop, and coach talent while creating clear paths for growth and success.

• Partner closely with Sales, Project Management, and 3D Design teams to transform creative visions into production-ready documentation.
• Ensure designs are accurately detailed, manufacturable, and optimized for efficient fabrication and installation.
• Serve as a trusted technical leader, helping teams navigate complex design and production challenges.

• Oversee the creation and quality of CAD/CAM documentation for experiential environments and custom builds.
• Develop and refine detailing standards, workflows, and best practices that improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
• Align tools, systems, and processes across teams and facilities to create a seamless production experience.

• Lead project planning efforts, including scheduling, budgeting, workload forecasting, and resource allocation across multiple concurrent projects.
• Participate in project kickoff meetings and fulfillment reviews to ensure alignment on scope, timelines, and deliverables.
• Provide hands-on support when challenges arise, helping teams quickly resolve technical and production issues.

• Explore new materials, fabrication methods, and production technologies that expand creative possibilities.
• Champion process improvements and continuous innovation to help the organization scale and stay ahead of industry trends.

• Significant experience in CAD detailing within experiential marketing, trade shows, custom fabrication, production, or similar environments.
• Proven leadership experience with a collaborative, hands-on management style.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and a strong understanding of the entire build lifecycle-from concept development through fabrication and installation.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to build productive partnerships across teams.
• Demonstrated project management experience, including planning, budgeting, scheduling, and resource management.
• A passion for creating efficient, scalable processes and driving operational excellence.
• Trade School Diploma, Associate's Degree, Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Technology, or a related field-or equivalent professional experience.

This role directly leads the Detailing team and plays a critical role in shaping how we deliver exceptional experiential environments. You'll influence not only the quality of our builds, but also the systems, processes, and talent that make them possible.

If you're energized by turning complex ideas into buildable realities, developing high-performing teams, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression, we'd love to meet you.

Last but not least, we believe in diversity, equity and inclusion.
