Our client is one of the UK’s leading independent stand design and build companies in the exhibitions and live events world. Since 2017 they’ve taken stands from first sketch to show floor across the UK, Europe and beyond. Around 90% of their work is modular, built on their own T3 system and backed by an in-house design team, their own warehouse and a trusted build partner. A long-serving Project Manager is moving on, the order book is busy, and the projects team needs someone who can step straight in. They need a modular PM who already knows how this works.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll run your own portfolio of exhibition projects from design sign-off to onsite delivery and debrief. That’s anything from five to a dozen jobs at a time, all at different stages. You’ll set up stock and kit for modular builds and manage the install and pre-build diary. You’ll also coordinate with the warehouse in Worcester, place venue orders, work through artwork briefs with the designers, and cost up projects to protect the margin. Clients will see you as their main point of contact.

Around 80% of the work is UK-based, with one or two European jobs a month. When it’s busy you’ll be onsite once or twice a week, and when it’s quiet you’ll barely be onsite at all. It’s one or two days a week in the central London office. If you’re further afield, it’s just one day every other week, and there’s room for more remote working if you know T3. It’s fast-paced, but the culture is genuinely friendly and protective of work-life balance. They’re a team of people who love live events and actually like each other.

What You’ll Bring

• Exhibition project management experience at a stand builder or design and build agency, delivering modular stands (T3, beMatrix, Aluvision or similar)
• Solid knowledge of venue orders, regulations, AEV eGuide standards and RAMS
• Experience costing exhibition stands and managing budgets
• Confidence running multiple live projects at once, ideally on Monday.com
• SketchUp skills are a real bonus
• A calm, solutions-driven team player who’s happy to travel

What’s in it for you

• £35,000 to £45,000, plus a discretionary annual bonus
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Private healthcare after probation, plus a workplace pension
• Hybrid working, with as little as one office day every other week if you’re further away
• Company laptop and mobile
• Progressive maternity and paternity packages
• Regular socials, a team of around 20, and clear room to progress
