Purple Exhibits – NY Area | Travel Required
Purple Exhibits is looking for a strong, hands-on Exhibit Build & Install Manager to join our team.
This person will be involved from the shop floor all the way to the show floor. You’ll help build it, prep it, pack it, ship it — and then travel to make sure it’s installed exactly the way it should be.
We are not looking for someone who just shows up. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership.
What You’ll Do
In Our Shop:
Work alongside our production team building custom trade show exhibits
Oversee finishing details and quality control
Supervise packing and crating
Make sure everything is organized, labeled, and protected
Ensure projects leave the shop ready for smooth installation
On the Show Floor (Travel Required):
Travel to major trade shows across the U.S.
Lead installation and dismantle
Manage and direct local labor crews
Coordinate with show management and vendors
Problem-solve on-site when needed
Represent Purple Exhibits professionally in front of clients
What We’re Looking For
Experience in trade shows, exhibits, fabrication, or similar build environments
Strong understanding of construction and finishing work
Comfortable using tools and working hands-on
Leadership ability — able to manage crews and keep projects moving
Organized and detail-oriented
Calm under pressure and solution-focused
Professional and polished in front of clients
Willing and able to travel regularly
Who This Role Is For
Someone who likes seeing a project go from empty floor to finished booth.
Someone who cares about clean builds, tight timelines, and doing the job right.
Someone who understands that how it leaves the shop affects how it installs on-site.
Purple Exhibits designs, builds, ships, installs, and dismantles custom exhibits for major trade shows across the country. Our motto is JUST SHOW UP — because we handle the rest.
If you’re ready to be part of a growing exhibit house and lead projects from build to final install, we’d like to hear from you.
