Descrizione del lavoro

Love variety? Enjoy making things happen? Ready to make your mark?

Imagine a career where no two projects are the same. One week you're delivering a major national trade show, the next you're bringing an innovative exhibition stand to life, managing a large-scale event or working with some of Australia's most recognised brands.

Welcome to the world of exhibitions and events. It's an exciting, fast-paced industry that many people don't even know exists until they become part of it. And once you're in, you'll discover a career full of variety, great people, interesting projects and a pretty great lifestyle.

We're looking for a confident, forward-thinking and commercially savvy Project Manager to join our team and help shape the future of our business.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, bringing fresh ideas, finding smarter ways of working and turning plans into reality. You'll need to be equally comfortable managing the big picture, keeping the details under control and rolling up your sleeves when the job calls for it.

Industry experience isn't essential. The right skills, attitude and mindset are what matter most.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to senior leadership, you'll manage a diverse portfolio of exhibition and event projects across Australia, overseeing everything from initial client brief and planning through to production, logistics, installation and final delivery.

It's a varied role combining office-based project planning, client management and administration with regular onsite involvement. Some days you'll be coordinating schedules, budgets and suppliers; other days you'll be onsite working alongside the team, solving problems and bringing projects to life.

You'll also have the opportunity to influence how we operate, introduce new ideas and contribute to the ongoing growth and innovation of the business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead multiple projects from initial brief through to successful delivery.
• Build strong relationships with clients, suppliers, venues and key stakeholders.
• Manage project plans, timelines, budgets, resources and administration.
• Coordinate internal teams across production, logistics, operations and installation.
• Oversee onsite installations and event delivery, getting hands‑on when required.
• Keep projects organised, commercially sound and running smoothly.
• Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and operational efficiencies.
• Support and lead project coordinators and other team members.

What We're Looking For

We're open to candidates from a range of backgrounds. You might come from project management, events, construction, venues, operations, logistics, marketing or another fast-paced industry.

What matters is that you bring:

• Strong project planning, organisational and administrative skills.
• Confidence communicating with clients, teams, suppliers and senior stakeholders.
• Natural leadership qualities and the ability to bring people together.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of budgets and profitability.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to think on your feet.
• An interest in innovation, technology and finding better ways of doing things.
• The flexibility to move between strategic planning, office coordination and hands‑on onsite work.

Exhibition industry experience is a bonus, not a prerequisite. Regular interstate, and occasional international travel will be required.

Why Join Us?

A career you probably didn't know existed, in an industry you'll love being part of.

The exhibitions and events industry is creative, commercial, hands‑on and constantly evolving. You'll work across different industries, meet interesting people, travel interstate and be involved in projects where you can actually see the results of your work.

On top of that, you'll enjoy:

• A varied role that combines office and onsite work.
• Autonomy and genuine responsibility.
• Direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence business direction.
• The chance to introduce fresh ideas and drive improvements.
• A supportive, collaborative team and competitive remuneration.
• A great team culture, with our coffee culture, social events, Fun Committee and Social Golf Club.

Great Projects. Great People.

We're a team that works hard, looks after our clients and enjoys having a laugh along the way. We believe great work comes from great people, and we make sure there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy the journey as well.
