Jobbeschreibung

JANSON, named to the Inc. 5000 (2026) as one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses, is recognized for delivering excellent service to the military customers we support both domestically and abroad.

At JANSON, design is not decoration—it is mission enablement. The environments we create help military personnel train more effectively, collaborate more efficiently, build stronger communities, and feel valued for their service. Every project is an opportunity to improve the daily experience of those who support and defend our nation.

As JANSON expands nationally and internationally, this role will help shape how military modernization, workplace transformation, and immersive environments get built—not just imagined—working alongside a team that believes creativity can drive meaningful impact.

JANSON's work is primarily with and for US military customers.

Position Summary

The Senior Exhibit & Industrial Designer is the team’s authority on how design intent becomes a physical object. The role takes approved concepts for military headquarters, command facilities, dining facilities, training environments, heritage and recognition displays, and trade-show presence, and resolves them into custom architectural features, millwork, exhibits, displays, dimensional graphics, furniture, and wayfinding that can be fabricated, shipped, installed, and maintained on a military installation.

This is a maker’s role at a senior level. It requires a designer who thinks in materials, joinery, tolerances, and sequences; who can detail for a cabinet shop, a metal fabricator, a sign shop, and a general contractor; and who can hold the creative intent of a concept through value engineering and field conditions. The role works closely with the Senior Experience Designer on the concept side, with the Production Coordinator on procurement and logistics, and with JANSON’s Atlanta shop and fabrication partners on execution.
