Emerge XP is partnering with a design-driven exhibit and event production team to hire a CAD Detailer who knows how to turn approved creative into clean, buildable reality. This group works across custom trade show exhibits, event environments, and branded experiences, with in-house capabilities spanning design, detailing, fabrication, and installation support. Their model is turnkey, collaborative, and built around bringing bold ideas to life with precision.
This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys both the technical and creative sides of the work. You might be building from scratch, refining an approved concept, or translating renderings into shop-ready drawing sets that production can trust. You’ll work closely with project management and fabrication, helping ensure every booth, environment, and activation is not only visually strong, but actually buildable, installable, and ready for the floor.
Why This Role
This is a strong opportunity for someone who loves being at the center of how great experiential work actually gets made. In this role, you’ll help translate creative vision into something tangible, buildable, and show-ready, partnering closely with design, project management, and fabrication along the way. The work is high-visibility and fast-moving, with the chance to contribute to trade shows, branded environments, and event experiences. This is the kind of team where technical precision is genuinely valued and your ability to think through details, solve problems early, and create documentation the shop can trust has a real impact on the final result.
