Job Description

To fabricate, install, maintain and dismantle carpentry-related components for events and exhibitions -- such as exhibition booths, stages, backdrops, display furniture and decorative wood/wood-like structures -- ensuring high quality, safety compliance and on-time delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Read and interpret drawings, sketches, design briefs and technical instructions for event/exhibition installations. Take accurate measurements and calculate materials required (wood, MDF, plywood, laminates, metal framing if needed) and report any discrepancies. Fabricate and prepare carpentry items in workshop or on site: cut, shape, assemble, finish (sanding, varnish/paint, laminate) structural or display items. Install structures on-site in event or exhibition halls: assemble booths, panels, display stands, furniture, stage platforms, signage frames. Ensure installations meet design specifications, are level/plumb, secure, safe for use during the event duration. Coordinate closely with other trades (lighting/AV, graphics/signage, rigging, flooring) to ensure carpentry work integrates properly. Maintain tools, equipment and materials inventory; ensure good housekeeping in workshop and site. Assist in dismantling and removal of carpentry elements post-event, including packing/store or disposing of materials, returning venue to required condition. Follow workplace safety regulations and venue rules (e.g., load limits, fire safety, rigging clearances, venue flooring protection). Report issues (material shortages, structural concerns, damage, time delays) promptly to supervisor or project manager. Occasionally assist with custom furniture/build-ins, hidden storage within event structures, or refurbishing reused booths for future events.

Skills & Qualifications

Proven carpentry experience, ideally in event, exhibition, interior or similar environments. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints or sketches. Strong measurement, cutting, assembly skills; precision in finishing (smooth edges, good surface quality) especially important for display booths. Familiarity with wood and related materials used in event/exhibition contexts (plywood, MDF, laminates, acrylic/metal in some cases). Good physical condition: able to lift, carry, assemble components; work on-site under time pressure (setup/dismantle). Good time-management and ability to work to tight deadlines (event installation often has fixed arrival/clear-out times). Good communication skills and ability to work with a team (other carpenters, site foreman, project manager, other trades). Good awareness of safety standards, and willingness to follow site safety rules and venue regulations.

Working Conditions & Context

Most work will be on-site in event / exhibition halls (e.g., at venues such as Singapore Expo, convention centres) which often means irregular hours (early morning setup, late nights, dismantling after event). Workshop fabrication may be required away from event venue, then transported/assembled on-site. Deadlines are tight and the environment is high-pressure leading up to event opening. Post-event work includes dismantling and storage/transport of materials. Safety and cleanliness important: event venues expect restoration/clean-up of area and minimal disruption to other exhibitors/operations. The role may involve travel within Singapore, sometimes weekends/public holidays depending on event schedules.

Typical Deliverables / Outputs

Event/exhibition booth structures built to spec (size, finish, branding readiness). Display furniture, shelving, cabinetry, staging platforms installed and functioning. Backdrops, signage frames, decorative wooden elements glued/fastened, finished. All carpentry items dismantled and cleared as required by venue contract. Daily/weekly progress reports on installation status, material usage, issues encountered. Compliance with site safety checks and post-event wrap-up (e.g., checks for damage, storage of reusable components).
