Job Description

Our client, McCullough Creative, a creative design + build agency in Dubuque, Iowa, is seeking a Master Display Fabricator – a hands-on master maker with the mind of an engineer and the eye of a designer. This isn’t just a “follow the blueprints” kind of role. It’s about shaping the way they build one-of-a-kind exhibits, displays, and visitor experiences that wow people across the country. Ideal candidates are passionate about craft, hungry to learn, and ready to shape a team. If you’ve ever stared at a SketchUp model and instantly figured out the best way to build it, ship it, and make it last, we want to hear from you.

This is an onsite position in Dubuque, Iowa.

As Master Display Fabricator, you will:

  • Design and build custom displays, exhibits, and scenic elements using MDF, plywood, acrylic, sculpted foam, and specialty materials and finishes.
  • Translate design intent into smart, buildable shop drawings and CNC-ready files.
  • Work hands on in the shop fabricating, assembling, testing, and installing.
  • Collaborate with designers to engineer elegant, efficient, and shippable solutions.
  • Lead regional installs and solve problems onsite (1-3 days 10-15 times/year).
  • Mentor fabrication artists and help grow the next generation of shop talent.
  • Maintain high craftsmanship standards while also meeting timelines and budgets and keeping installation logistics and long-term durability in mind.
  • Collaborate with the accounts team and scheduler to ensure that projects flow through the shop in an efficient manner.
  • Contribute to process improvement and departmental leadership.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum 10 years of fabrication experience
  • Associates degree or higher in fine arts, graphic arts, design engineering, or a related field
  • Proficiency with CAD programs (SketchUp, VCarve, etc.)
  • Skilled at reading and developing shop drawings, plans, and build files
  • Experience working with a variety of materials and basic electronics
  • Ability to see the big picture and the fine details
  • Proven ability to manage and develop a team

They have over 40 years of experience helping clients launch grand ambitions and are doubling down on their proud history with the second generation of the team. Their employees are their greatest assets, whose growth-oriented mindsets have helped them continuously evolve over the decades.
