• Support the technical production head in reviewing feasibility and ensuring design integrity across all deliverables.

• Diploma or Bachelors degree in Technical Design, Architecture, Civil or Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years experience in exhibition detailing, event production, or interior fit-out.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Sketch Up, or similar CAD software (knowledge of 3D Studio Max, Revit, or Solid Works is an asset).
• Strong understanding of materials used in exhibitions, including MDF, metal, acrylic, and aluminum systems.
• Excellent ability to interpret and produce construction, joinery, and assembly drawings.
• Solid understanding of structural integrity, load-bearing systems, and installation logistics.
• Exceptional attention to detail, time management, and commitment to technical precision.
• Strong communication and coordination skills within multi-disciplinary project teams.

• Experience in large-scale exhibitions, trade shows, or corporate events.
• Familiarity with fabrication workflows and supplier coordination within the GCC region.
• Understanding of venue-specific technical and safety regulations (e.g., Dubai World Trade Centre, Riyadh Front).
