The Company:
At ESM we manage the design and build of exhibition spaces to create an engaging and memorable stand for our clients and their brand. All work is undertaken in house at our Kent headquarters by our experienced team who have been working on exhibition stands and trade fairs for a number of years, bringing both expertise and the latest trends to every project.
We produce some genuinely beautiful work; working on some fantastic projects for a number of agencies, but also a large volume of work for exhibitors looking to stand out at their events predominantly in the UK.
Our staff are tremendously proud of what we do, and this is a great chance to join a team that set the highest of standards and help us further improve the service we provide to our clients.
The Position:
ESM require a Projects Administrator to work across a portfolio of exhibition stand projects for a range of clients that will install at venues across the UK, Europe and sometimes beyond.
Working across a number of projects the successful candidate would be responsible for ordering all services that go into each exhibition stand that we design and build.
You would work with external suppliers across disciplines such as floorcovering, furniture, audio-visual, graphics, electrics, rigging, and administrating our health and safety management of each project too. This would involve client liaison and budget management as well as working to strict time-scales.
You would also be responsible for booking hotels, vehicles, logistics, and producing packs to provide installation teams and internal stakeholders with the details they need to complete each project.
This is an entry level role into project management in a dynamic and exciting sector of industry where no two projects are the same, and being organised and with an ability to think fast pay dividends. There are great opportunities for career progression, and this is a role that is very much viewed as providing a fantastic grounding for moving onto a full scale project management and account management role in the future.
The role would be largely office based, 40 hours per week, with additional hours and travel sometimes required for meetings and especially to venues for show builds, and to gain onsite project management experience. This may sometimes involve evenings and weekends.
The Candidate:
