Are you an experienced Heavy Rigid Driver who enjoys being on the road just as much as being hands-on at event sites?
We're looking for a Heavy Rigid Driver / Installation Manager to join our team at Expo Centric. This is a unique hybrid role for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work, and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
You'll be responsible for safely transporting exhibition stands, event equipment, and project materials across Sydney and Australia, while also leading and supporting the installation and dismantling of exhibition stands at trade shows, expos, conferences, and events.
At Expo Centric, we don't just build exhibition stands—we create extraordinary brand experiences. Every project is different, and every team member plays a critical role in bringing our clients' vision to life. You'll be part of a company that lives by its core values: Courage, Curiosity, Selflessness, Judgement, and Communication.
