Expo Centric designs and builds some of Australia’s most innovative, award-winning exhibition stands. We’re where creativity meets engineering — and we need a Production Designer who can bridge the gap between concept and construction, turning bold designs into reality with precision, efficiency, and flair.

The Role

You’ll be the link between our 3D Design, Project Management, and Factory teams — transforming creative concepts into accurate, build-ready technical drawings and CNC programs.

You’ll take ownership of how things are made: from detailed CAD drawings and materials selection to CNC cutting files and production optimisation. If you can spot a clash before it happens and shave hours off a build time through smarter nesting or design, you’ll fit right in.
