Cabinet Maker (Trade Shows & Events)
Job Description
Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.
At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences.
That takes a team that’s bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you’ll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.
This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.
Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.
Build What People Remember.
At Jack Morton, we don’t just build displays, we build the environments people walk through, interact with, and remember.
From massive trade show booths to immersive branded spaces, our work shows up on some of the biggest stages in the world. Every wall, cabinet, counter, finish, and detail matters. That’s why we’re looking for skilled carpenters and cabinet makers who take pride in doing things the right way.
If you care about craftsmanship, enjoy building custom work, and want to see your projects come to life for global brands, this is the shop for you.
