Rydalmere, Australia Expo Centric Full time

**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.
