Job Title: Exhibition Carpenters / Joiners

Location: Sittingbourne

Salary: £35,000 - £50,000 Subject to experience and O/T worked

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time.

Job Description

At ESM we manage the design and build of exhibition spaces to create an engaging and memorable stand for our clients and their brands. All work is undertaken in house at our Kent headquarters by our experienced team who have been working on exhibition stands and trade fairs for a number of years, bringing both expertise and the latest trends to every project.

We produce some genuinely beautiful work from our fully equipped factory and offices in Sittingbourne; working on some fantastic projects for a number of agencies, but also a large volume of work for exhibitors looking to stand out at their events predominantly in the UK.

Our staff are tremendously proud of what we do, and this is a great chance to join a team that set the highest of standards and help us further improve the service we provide to our clients.

The Position

This is a fabulous opportunity to join a great team of tradespeople manufacturing and delivering custom built exhibition stands to venues throughout the UK and Europe.

You will be responsible for making and organising flooring, stock walling, and manufacturing counters and bespoke joinery items at our fully equipped factory on the Eurolink in Sittingbourne before helping our teams deliver onsite; and for those with experience, sometimes leading your own projects onsite. Applicants will be expected to have experience of finishing such as laminating and veneering counters and walls, and have the ability to produce items of great quality - manufacture you can be proud of.

This is not a role that suits trades used to house building, or 1st fix, 2nd fix in construction - you must be used to workshop carpentry and joinery to a good standard.

You will also be expected to travel with a team to install and break down post show some of our stands, and it is preferred that applicants have a driving licence and a flexible approach to working away, and overtime including some evenings and weekends.

Our core workshop hours are 8hrs a day, commencing at 7 or 8am, but paid overtime is often available at various times throughout the year, and it is important to the business that this is worked as much as possible by production staff at the times it is needed.

These are permanent and fully employed positions, however self-employed applicants for temporary contracts may be considered.

We are looking for staff with a fabulous attitude who want to see projects from a work bench to completion, with an end result to be proud of - interested in the variety working in events and exhibitions provides where you get to see different parts of the country and with occasional travel to Europe. Once you've worked in this industry - it's unique and exciting.

Benefits

• 25 days holiday a year
• Company Pension
• Friendly but fast paced working environment
• Plenty of opportunity for career growth and progression within an SME business.
