  • Prepare detailed estimates for fabrication, modular systems, rental components, graphics, flooring, lighting, audiovisual, freight, installation and dismantle labor, and related services.
  • Calculate material quantities, production labor, purchased components, subcontracted services, and other project costs.
  • Identify scope gaps, assumptions, exclusions, and potential cost risks before estimates are finalized.
  • Recommend value-engineering options when needed to help align design concepts with client budgets.
Technical & Project Collaboration

  • Collaborate with design, sales, project management, finance, and production teams throughout the estimating process.

  • Clearly communicate key cost drivers, assumptions, risks, and opportunities for savings.
Vendor & Cost Management

  • Maintain awareness of changing material, labor, freight, rental, and service costs.
  • Compare completed-project actual costs to original estimates and help improve future estimating accuracy via established Job Costing SOPs.
  • Support the development and maintenance of estimating standards, historical cost data, and pricing resources.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of estimating, project management, production, detailing, or related experience within the trade show exhibit industry strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of custom and modular trade show booth construction, fabrication methods, graphics, rental components, and show-site requirements.
  • Ability to interpret renderings, floor plans, elevations, construction drawings, specifications, and bills of materials.
  • Working knowledge of material and labor takeoffs, production hours, freight, installation and dismantle, and outsourced services.
  • Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with estimating, project management, ERP, or related business software.
  • Familiarity with QuickBooks, Salesforce, CAD drawings and design documentation is highly desirable.
  • Strong mathematical, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple estimates and changing priorities.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across multiple departments.
WHAT WE OFFER

  • Full benefits package, including health insurance, PTO, and retirement plan options.
  • A stable, supportive environment within a well-established, multigenerational family business.
  • Direct collaboration with experienced professionals across design, project management, production, sales, and leadership.
  • The opportunity to work on a wide range of highly creative, custom and modular trade show booth projects.
