Site Supervisor / Lead Installer Exhibits & Trade Shows

$27 - $40 per hour
Full-time

Essential Hr Llc

We’re looking for an experienced Site Supervisor / Lead Installer with a strong background in trade show and exhibit installation & dismantle (I&D) to take ownership of on-site execution and act as a Warehouse Lead between shows.

This role is ideal for someone who has “been in the trenches,” understands system and custom builds, and wants a hands-on leadership role with real autonomy, not just another crew lead shift.

This is not a general construction role. Only candidates with trade show or exhibit I&D experience will be considered.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

On-Site (Shows & Events)


  • Lead installation and dismantle (I&D) for exhibits at local, national, and U.S. trade shows

  • Supervise and direct I&D crews to ensure efficient, safe, and accurate installs

  • Act as the on-site point person for clients, Account Managers, and show services

  • Troubleshoot real-time challenges (freight, show services, graphics, timelines)

  • Ensure builds are completed to spec, on time, and to a high professional standard

  • Deliver an exceptional client experience on-site — calm, capable, and solutions-focused

Warehouse Lead (Between Shows)


  • Pull, prep, and pack booth materials for upcoming shows

  • Oversee organization and readiness of exhibit inventory

  • Support set-ups, mock installs, and coordination with fabrication when required

  • Track and submit accurate time sheets for warehouse, site, and crew hours

  • Help ensure projects move smoothly from warehouse → show floor → return

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience


  • 3–5+ years of hands-on exhibit or trade show installation experience

  • Proven experience leading crews on-site

  • Strong working knowledge of Aluvision, Octanorm, or similar modular systems

  • Experience with large custom exhibits (30’x30’, 40’x40’, or larger)

  • Ability to read and work from CAD drawings

  • Comfortable working evenings, weekends, and traveling as required

  • Eligible to work in Canada and travel to the U.S.

  • Valid driver’s licence

Nice to Have


  • Forklift certification or warehouse equipment experience

  • Experience acting as a lead or supervisor across multiple shows

  • Familiarity with U.S. show logistics and border considerations

The Right Fit

You’re someone who:


  • Takes pride in a clean, well-run install

  • Leads by example and earns respect on-site

  • Stays calm under pressure and solves problems without drama

  • Understands that great builds and great client experiences matter

  • Wants a stable, full-time role where your experience is trusted and valued

  • Enjoys variety — warehouse prep, travel, and show floor execution

This is a key role on a small, skilled team. Your work directly impacts client satisfaction and show success.

Compensation & Benefits


  • $27.00–$40.00/hour, based on experience

  • Minimum 40 hours per week

  • Extended health benefits

  • Paid time off

  • Consistent work with variety across projects

Accommodations are available upon request for candidates participating in the selection process. Please let us know if you require any specific accommodations.
