What are the responsibilities and job description for the Exhibit & Display Builder - A Carpenter! position at Exhibit Associates, Inc.?
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.
