3D Exhibition Design Automation Lead (Rydalmere)

Are you a 3D exhibition designer who wants to do more than create stand concepts? We’re looking for a talented 3D Exhibition Design Automation Lead to join our team at Expo Centric. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about exhibition design, 3D visualisation, production workflows and the future of AI-assisted design. This is not a standard 3D Exhibition Designer role. You’ll help Expo Centric build smarter, faster and more scalable design systems by exploring how AI, automation, CAD/Revit workflows and production drawing systems can improve the way we design and deliver exhibition stands. At Expo Centric, we don’t just fill roles — we build teams that create extraordinary experiences. Every position here plays a key part in delivering projects that wow our clients and help us grow. You’ll be part of a company that lives by its core values: Courage, Curiosity, Selflessness, Judgement, and Communication. ???? Discover what we do at Expo Centric: ???? What You’ll Do
- Research, test and compare AI tools that can support exhibition design, 3D concept development, CAD documentation and production drawing workflows.
- Help develop AI-assisted workflows that can convert client briefs into practical exhibition stand concepts, layouts and design options.
- Support the improvement of production documentation, including CAD/Revit drawings, fabrication packs, exploded views, CNC-ready files and clear handover notes.
- Map Expo Centric’s current design-to-production process and identify what can be automated, semi-automated or improved.

- Experience in 3D exhibition design, exhibition stand design, production design, technical design, architecture, industrial design, computational design or a related field.
- Strong understanding of how exhibition concepts become buildable, documented and installed environments.
- Experience with 3D design, CAD documentation, Revit/BIM workflows, production drawings, fabrication packs or technical drawing systems.
- Practical knowledge of materials, modular systems, custom fabrication, flooring, lighting, graphics and installation logic.
- Interest or experience in AI tools, automation, scripting, parametric design, generative design or workflow improvement.
- Confidence testing tools, documenting findings and making explicit recommendations.
- Solid communication and collaboration skills.
- The ability to work across creative, technical and operational teams.
- A proactive mindset and strong judgement when deciding what design outputs are practical, useful and buildable.
