Cabinet Maker (Trade Shows & Events)
About The Position
At Jack Morton, we design and build head-turning, smile-inducing, impact-driving brand experiences that redefine what experiential marketing can achieve. We help our clients unlock the full value of experiences by turning bold ideas into meaningful connections. This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and every win is shared. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the passion and talent of the people behind it. Experience without limits—in your work, your growth, and your impact. Must be able to work onsite 5 days a week in Addison, IL. 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. This is hands-on fabrication work for someone who enjoys building custom pieces, solving problems in the shop, and working alongside a strong production team. You’ll help fabricate high-end exhibit environments for major healthcare, technology, and consumer brands seen at trade shows and live events across the country. No two builds are the same. One week could involve detailed cabinetry and millwork, the next could be large-scale exhibit structures and custom installations.
