Our client is a market-leading exhibition and stand contractor with 30+ years of industry expertise, delivering bespoke builds for some of Ireland's most recognised brands including Brown Thomas and Arnotts. They design, fabricate, and construct custom exhibition stands, pop-up sets, and full retail shop fits, managing every stage from initial concept through to final installation. This is a business built on precision craftsmanship, tight deadlines, and exceptional client relationships.
The Opportunity This is not a desk-based project coordination role. We are looking for a hands-on Construction Project Manager who has physically delivered builds — someone who understands workshop fabrication, on-site installation, and the pressure of event deadlines. You will own projects end-to-end across exhibitions, retail environments, and live event pop-ups.
Key Responsibilities
Lead full lifecycle delivery of custom exhibition stands, event pop-ups, and retail shop fits — from brief and design coordination through fabrication, logistics, and on-site installation
Manage and coordinate workshop teams, specialist contractors, riggers, electricians, and transport to hit tight build schedules
Own project P&L, budgets, and cost forecasting — identifying risks early and resolving them fast
Serve as the primary point of contact for high-profile clients, managing expectations and ensuring flawless handovers
Enforce timelines through structured project reviews; prepare and implement RAMS and compliance documentation
Troubleshoot on-site issues in real time — you will be expected on the tools and on the ground when it matters
You Must Have
3+ years of construction project management experience — exhibition stands, shop fits, pop-ups, temporary structures, or modular builds essential
