Senior 3D Designer, Exhibits, Mid-Atlantic

Why This Role This is a role with real creative ownership and meaningful visibility. You’ll have the opportunity to work across custom exhibits, museum environments and permanent installations while influencing projects from the earliest ideas through the final built experience. The work is varied, highly collaborative and closely connected to the teams responsible for bringing it to life. There is also clear career growth potential. For a senior designer who brings strong creative leadership, sound judgment and the ability to elevate both the work and the team, this role can grow into broader design leadership over time.

Estimator, Exhibits, Orlando

/

We are partnering with an established exhibit and branded environment firm to hire an experienced Estimator for its Orlando based team. This is a key role inside the production process for the person who helps determine what a project will take, how it should be built, where costs need to be protected, and how the team can move forward with confidence. The ideal candidate understands the exhibit industry from the inside and how an estimate supports the build. They can read drawings, ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, work across departments, and bring clarity to projects that are often moving fast and changing quickly. This role requires strong technical understanding, sharp cost awareness, and the ability to communicate clearly with sales, project management, design, production, logistics, vendors, and leadership. It is a strong fit for someone who enjoys the details, understands how custom exhibit work comes together, and takes pride in helping a team price work accurately before it reaches production. Why This Role Strong estimating shapes how confidently a team can sell, plan, build, and deliver.

You’ll help turn concepts, drawings, scope, materials, labor, vendor input, and timing into estimates the team can trust. This is a strong fit for the professional who understands custom exhibit production well enough to move beyond line items and bring real judgment to the process. Someone who knows how the work comes together, communicates with confidence, and takes pride in getting the details right before the project moves forward. For an estimator who likes being close to the build and valued for their technical eye, this role offers the chance to be part of a team where the work is detailed, visible, and built with purpose.

Production Supervisor, Exhibits, Mid-Atlantic

/

Emerge XP is supporting an established organization in the exhibit, event, retail, and commercial interiors space in hiring a Production Supervisor. This is an on-site production role for someone who knows how work moves through a shop: what needs to be staged, what needs to be packed, what needs to be tracked, what can slow a job down, and what has to be handled before it becomes a problem. This role is built around presence, follow through, and sound production judgment. The work calls for someone who can stay close to the floor, understand the schedule, communicate clearly across teams, and help keep people, materials, inventory, quality, and deadlines moving in sync. A successful candidate could come from a lead role, production coordination, shop floor planning, hands on supervision, fabrication, warehouse operations, exhibit production, or another environment where timing, organization, and accountability matter every day. Why This Role This is a smart next move for someone ready to take on more ownership without being pulled away from the work itself. You’ll have a visible role in how projects move from kickoff to completion, with exposure to scheduling, labor planning, job costing, inventory, rental components, staging, returns, and cross functional coordination. It is a role for someone who likes solving the practical issues that happen between the plan and the finished job. The value here is in bringing order to moving parts, helping the team work cleaner, and making sure production has what it needs before deadlines start closing in.
