We are seeking a highly organized and client-centric Event & Exhibition Project Executive with hands-on experience managing exhibition booth fit-out, build, and production projects from conception to on-site delivery.

This role is focused on project coordination for exhibition booth design, fabrication, logistics, and delivery — ensuring client requirements are executed flawlessly with quality, timing, and budget accuracy.

    • Production, fabrication, and workshop teams

    • Logistics, transport, and on-site installation crews

  • Ensure all deliverables align with client specifications and exhibition deadlines.

Documentation & Procurement

  • Coordinate procurement of materials, fittings, AV equipment, furniture, lighting, and branding elements.

  • Track budgets, variations, and cost controls in line with project objectives.

On-Site Execution

  • Oversee installation and dismantle phases on-site during exhibitions.

  • Troubleshoot issues, ensure safety standards, and optimize workflow with contractors and suppliers.

  • Monitor quality control and compliance with venue regulations.

Reporting & Follow-Up

  • Provide regular project status updates to internal leadership.

  • Maintain accurate documentation, timelines, and reporting for all projects.

  • Conduct post-event evaluations to support continuous improvement.

Required Experience & Profile

✔ Minimum 2–4 years of direct exhibition project execution experience, preferably in booth construction, fit-out, or event production environments.
✔ Strong coordination with design, fabrication, logistics, and on-site teams.
✔ Experience working with technical drawings, BOQs, quotations, and vendor coordination.
✔ Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Skills & Competencies

  • Excellent project management and organizational skills

  • Ability to interpret technical drawings and exhibition floor plans

  • Strong communication with internal teams, clients, and suppliers

  • Problem-solving mindset and ability to thrive under tight deadlines

  • Detail-oriented with strong ownership of delivery outcomes

  • Experience with event production or exhibition logistics is a plus

Preferred Background

  • Experience working with:

    • Exhibition stand contractors

    • Fabrication workshops

    • Event logistics and installation teams
