Senior Exhibit & Industrial Designer

JANSON, named to the Inc. 5000 (2026) as one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses, is recognized for delivering excellent service to the military customers we support both domestically and abroad.

At JANSON, design is not decoration—it is mission enablement. The environments we create help military personnel train more effectively, collaborate more efficiently, build stronger communities, and feel valued for their service. Every project is an opportunity to improve the daily experience of those who support and defend our nation.

As JANSON expands nationally and internationally, this role will help shape how military modernization, workplace transformation, and immersive environments get built—not just imagined—working alongside a team that believes creativity can drive meaningful impact.

JANSON's work is primarily with and for US military customers.

The Senior Exhibit & Industrial Designer is the team’s authority on how design intent becomes a physical object. The role takes approved concepts for military headquarters, command facilities, dining facilities, training environments, heritage and recognition displays, and trade-show presence, and resolves them into custom architectural features, millwork, exhibits, displays, dimensional graphics, furniture, and way finding that can be fabricated, shipped, installed, and maintained on a military installation.

This is a maker’s role at a senior level. It requires a designer who thinks in materials, joinery, tolerances, and sequences; who can detail for a cabinet shop, a metal fabricator, a sign shop, and a general contractor; and who can hold the creative intent of a concept through value engineering and field conditions. The role works closely with the Senior Experience Designer on the concept side, with the Production Coordinator on procurement and logistics, and with JANSON’s Atlanta shop and fabrication partners on execution.

• Translate approved concepts into developed designs for custom architectural features, exhibits, displays, heritage walls, recognition and donor elements, millwork, furniture, and way finding systems.
• Produce fabrication-ready control drawings, shop-drawing-level details, material and finish callouts, and specifications that fabricators and general contractors can price and build from.
• Select materials, hardware, lighting, and finishes appropriate to military-facility durability, maintenance, fire and life-safety, and accessibility requirements.

• Serve as the design lead for fabrication partners and the in-house Atlanta shop: review shop drawings and submittals, approve samples and mock-ups, and resolve detailing questions.
• Lead constructability and value-engineering reviews; propose alternatives that protect intent while meeting budget and schedule.
• Support installation on site, including site surveys, field measurement, punch lists, and as-built documentation during the Sustain phase.

• Design exhibits, interpretive displays, and trade-show environments (e.g., defense industry conferences), including structure, graphics integration, lighting, and shipping and setup logistics.
• Coordinate with graphic designers on dimensional and applied graphics so that graphic and physical design are resolved together.

• Establish detailing standards, material libraries, and fabrication documentation templates for the team.
• Mentor the Experience Designer and Junior Experience Designer on detailing, materials, and fabrication methods; review their technical work.
• Contribute fabrication cost and schedule estimates to proposals and scoping.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Exhibit Design, Architecture, Interior Architecture, or a related discipline.
