About The Position

We are doing some incredible things here at Pinnacle. We’re all about challenging convention and doing the hard work it takes to create mind-blowing digital and physical experiences, events, exhibits and environments for some of the world’s top brands. Our Rules of Engagement—being gracious, invested and creative—reward imagination and encourage disruptive thinking in the pursuit of flawless execution for our clients. We are based in Portland, Oregon with facilities in both Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Illinois, Raleigh Durham, North Carolina and two groups in Connecticut! We are recruiting for talented Builders to work in our Woodridge, IL facility. Our builders work with a skilled team of designers and fabricators to produce innovative brand experiences. Unlike residential cabinetry where you build the same boxes every day, we build high-end, custom environments for trade shows. Every week is a different project. If you enjoy precision fabrication, working with diverse materials, and seeing a massive structure come together from a set of prints, this is the spot for you.
