Role Description
We’re looking for a talented
3D Exhibition Design Automation Lead
to join our team at Expo Centric. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about exhibition design, 3D visualisation, production workflows and the future of AI-assisted design. You’ll help Expo Centric build smarter, faster and more scalable design systems by exploring how AI, automation, CAD/Revit workflows and production drawing systems can improve the way we design and deliver exhibition stands.
What You’ll Do
-
Research, test and compare AI tools that can support exhibition design, 3D concept development, CAD documentation and production drawing workflows.
-
Help develop AI-assisted workflows that can convert client briefs into practical exhibition stand concepts, layouts and design options.
-
Support the improvement of production documentation, including CAD/Revit drawings, fabrication packs, exploded views, CNC-ready files and clear handover notes.
-
Map Expo Centric’s current design-to-production process and identify what can be automated, semi-automated or improved.
-
Create prompt libraries, design templates, drawing checklists, QA steps and standard operating procedures.
-
Work closely with 3D designers, production designers, project managers, estimators, factory teams and external developers where needed.
-
Train design and production team members to use AI-assisted workflows and tools properly.
-
Ensure AI-generated design outputs are practical, buildable, accurate, within budget and checked before being used.
-
Help build a long-term roadmap for repeatable AI-assisted exhibition design and production drawing systems.
Qualifications
-
Experience in 3D exhibition design, exhibition stand design, production design, technical design, architecture, industrial design, computational design or a related field.
-
Strong understanding of how exhibition concepts become buildable, documented and installed environments.
-
Experience with 3D design, CAD documentation, Revit/BIM workflows, production drawings, fabrication packs or technical drawing systems.
-
Practical knowledge of materials, modular systems, custom fabrication, flooring, lighting, graphics and installation logic.
-
Interest or experience in AI tools, automation, scripting, parametric design, generative design or workflow improvement.
-
Confidence testing tools, documenting findings and making clear recommendations.
-
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
-
The ability to work across creative, technical and operational teams.
-
A proactive mindset and strong judgement when deciding what design outputs are practical, useful and buildable.
-
Curiosity about new technology, balanced with a practical understanding that design still needs to work in the real world.
