Project Manager

Bring ideas to life in the world of exhibitions and tradeshows. As a Project Manager at Gielissen, you make sure every project runs smoothly – from budget and planning to flawless delivery on site. With your organizational talent and sharp eye for detail, you’re the link between clients, vendors, and our in-house experts.

As Project Manager, you take ownership of the entire production phase. From site surveys to final handover, you keep projects on track, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Every day is different. One day you’re preparing drawings and vendor orders, the next you’re leading kick-off meetings or monitoring progress on the show floor.

You collaborate closely with Account Managers, Traveling Supervisors, and vendors, while always keeping the client in the loop. Whether it’s reviewing budgets, managing orders, or troubleshooting on site, you know how to keep all moving parts aligned. And after the show? You support debriefs, review costs, and look ahead to improvements for next time.

Along the way, you’ll manage projects for leading international brands – clients like GE Healthcare, Marriott, and Rosewood. These projects span diverse industries, from healthcare and hospitality to technology and beyond, giving you the chance to broaden your expertise and portfolio.

At Gielissen, you’ll join a team where your work is visible, valued, and makes an impact. We combine craftsmanship with innovation to create unforgettable brand experiences worldwide. You can expect:

• A starting salary of $60K+, commensurate with experience.
• Paid time off.
• 401K matching.
• Opportunities to grow toward Senior Project Manager as our US portfolio expands.
• A supportive environment with (online) training opportunities to keep developing your skills.
• Collaboration with leading international clients and colleagues across the globe.

You are an experienced Project Manager who thrives in the tradeshow and conference world. You know how event booth production works and what it takes to get things done on site.

• Prior experience as a Project Manager, ideally within exhibitions or events.
• Knowledge of show-site production processes and vendor management.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Comfortable with Excel; experience with Aluvision is a plus.

Even if you don’t tick every box but believe this role is the right fit for you – we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be part of our Project Management team in the US: a compact group of 5 professionals within an office of around 40 colleagues. Together, we manage projects for clients across North America and beyond. You report directly to the Director of Project Management, and you’ll work side by side with Account Managers, Traveling Supervisors, and specialists from other departments.

Gielissen is an international leader in exhibitions, events, and interiors with over 85 years of experience and offices in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Our mission? To create unforgettable experiences and bring ambitious ideas to life.
