Job Description

Pinnacle Exhibits creates custom spaces to change minds, motivate behavior and leave a lasting impression. We are a diverse and merry band of branders, builders, designers, makers, communicators, advertisers and engineers united by a hunger to wow people in 3D. Working with timelines measured in days and weeks not months or years, our talented teams conceive projects from scratch, moving them from ideation, to 3D design, to fabrication and to deployment in the field.

We are based in Oregon with a second facility in Irvine, California. Our SE Portland design studio, where this position is based, is located in the Olympic Mills Commerce Center (OMCC). The OMCC is a beehive of creative energy and is located in the land of bikes, breweries, mustaches and locally roasted coffee. Food carts? Check. World class dining? Check. Legendary Burnside Skate Park? Check. What more could a creative mind want?
