Job description

Exhibit Associates | North Kansas City, MO | Near Chicken N PickleFull-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 for clients across the country.

Around here, no two weeks look the same.

One day, you might be building a mu seum exhibit.

The next, you're fabricating a trade show booth headed to Las Vegas or helping install one at Bartle Hall.

Then you might be building a corporate lobby display, custom cabinetry, or something nobody has ever built before.

And after that? Maybe you're helping create a brand activation outside a stadium.

If you like building things, solving problems, and standing back at the end of a project thinking, "We built that," you might fit right in.

Before You Apply...

Three questions:

Can you read a tape measure accurately?

Can you show up on time and ready to work?

Can you figure things out when the drawing and reality don't quite agree?

If you answered yes to all three, keep reading.

What You'll Do

You'll work alongside our fabrication team to build custom projects for companies, organizations, museums, and some of the biggest brands in the country.

Projects can include:

• Custom trade show exhibits
• Mu_eum exhibits
• Corporate interiors and lobby displays
• Retail and branded environment
• Custom cabinetry and millwork
• Reception desks and counters
• Display cases
• Signage and specialty fabrication
• Event-based brand activations
• One-of-a-kind projects that don't fit neatly into a category

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reading shop drawings, fabrication plans, bar napkins and measurements
• Cutting, assembling, laminating, and finishing custom components
• Operating woodworking and fabrication equipment safely
• Building projects to high standards for fit, finish, and durability
• Working with designers, project managers, and other fabricators
• Preparing projects for shipping and installation
• Loading and occasionally installing projects on-site
• Troubleshooting and solving problems during fabrication
• Helping keep the shop organized, safe, and productive

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in craftsmanship
• Enjoys building custom projects
• Pays attention to the details
• Can work independently and as part of a team
• Is dependable and shows up ready to work
• Doesn't need to be told every next step
• Can think through problems instead of stopping when something unexpected happens
• Wants to keep learning and improving their craft
• Experience in cabinetry, commercial millwork, exhibit fabrication, museum fabrication, finish carpentry, scenic fabrication, or custom woodworking is a strong plus.
• Experience with CNC equipment is helpful, but not required.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who knows how to build and takes pride in doing it well.

Requirements

• Ability to read drawings and shop plans
• Ability to accurately read and use a tape measure
• Experience safely operating common woodworking and shop equipment
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
• Valid driver's license
• Willingness to occasionally travel for installations
• Ability to work additional hours when project schedules require it

What We Offer

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Union membership after the initial employment period
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
• Full-time, year-round work
• Interesting projects that change from week to week
• Opportunities to build projects that travel across the country
• A team that values craftsmanship over cutting corners

Why Exhibit Associates?

We're not a production cabinet shop building the same box 500 times.

Every project is different.

Every client brings us a new challenge. Every design requires a little problem-solving. And every finished project goes somewhere people will see it, walk through it, interact with it, or remember it.

We've been doing that in Kansas City for nearly 50 years.

If you're a carpenter, fabricator, cabinetmaker, or builder who wants to work on projects you can point to and say, "I helped build that," we'd like to meet you.
