CREATIVE EXHIBITION & EXPERIENCE DESIGNER
Sydney | Hybrid | Exhibitions
Activations
Experiential Design
Design for major brands. See your ideas actually get built.
Cre8 Co. is looking for a talented
Creative Exhibition & Experience Designer
to join our Sydney team and work across exhibitions, brand activations and experiential spaces for some of Australia and the world's leading brands.
Our clients include
Coca-Cola, Lexus, Thales
and a diverse portfolio of major Australian and international companies.
We're looking for someone with solid creative instincts, great design taste and the ability to take a brief from an initial idea through to a real-world experience.
This is also a
hands-on team role
. We're a collaborative business where everyone contributes to getting projects across the line. While design will be your primary focus, when the design workload is quieter, you'll work alongside our Project Management team assisting with project coordination and administration.
If you want variety, responsibility, big-brand exposure and the opportunity to become an important part of a creative team, this could be a great next move.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DESIGNING
No two weeks at Cre8 Co. are quite the same.
You could be developing an activation for Coca-Cola, designing a sophisticated exhibition environment for Lexus, working on a corporate space for Thales or developing an entirely different experiential concept for another client.
Your design responsibilities will include:
Exhibition stand design
Brand activations and experiential spaces
3D spatial and environmental design
Creative concepts and initial design directions
Mood boards and client presentation decks
Design development and documentation
Materials, finishes, furniture, lighting and graphic integration
Developing concepts that are both visually impressive and realistically buildable
Working with our Project Management and production teams to take designs through to delivery
Keeping across global exhibition, experiential, retail and spatial design trends
Using
AI-led creative and design programs
to enhance concepts, visualisation and the overall creative process
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & ADMIN SUPPORT
Design is your primary responsibility, but this is not a design-only position.
There will naturally be periods when our design workload is quieter. During these times,



you'll be expected to jump in and support our Project Management team to ensure our projects remain organized and are delivered well.
This could include:
Assisting with project schedules and documentation
Supplier quotes, coordination and follow-ups
Obtaining information and pricing from suppliers
Updating project information and internal systems
Assisting with client and supplier communications
General project administration
Helping the wider team keep jobs organised, on schedule and moving forward
We see this as an important part of the role because it gives you exposure to the
entire project lifecycle - from the first sketch through to seeing the finished experience built on site.
We're looking for someone who is happy to roll up their sleeves and help the team rather than someone who wants to work exclusively within the design stage.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
First and foremost,
you need to be a great designer with a great eye.
You understand different design styles and know how to interpret a brand rather than applying the same aesthetic to every project.
Ideally, you'll have experience in
exhibitions, experiential design, activations, events, interiors, retail, spatial design or a closely related field.
We're looking for someone who:
Has strong creative and spatial design skills
Is confident working in relevant 3D and design software
Understands different design styles, materials and finishes
Can interpret a client brief and develop a strong creative direction
Can move between premium, corporate, playful and highly experiential design
Understands that great concepts also need to be buildable
Is interested and confident using
AI-assisted design and creative tools
Keeps up with emerging design technology and trends
Communicates well and enjoys working collaboratively
Is organised and capable of managing multiple priorities
Is comfortable speaking with suppliers, project managers and clients
Is happy to help with project coordination and administration
Takes ownership rather than waiting to be told every next step
Most importantly,



we're looking for someone who wants to
become part of the team and grow with the business
.
WHY CRE8 CO.?
BIG BRANDS. REAL PROJECTS. REAL CREATIVE INPUT.
You'll work across projects for some incredible brands and actually see your designs leave your screen and become physical spaces.
VARIETY
This isn't a role where you'll spend every week producing variations of the same design. Our projects, clients, industries and briefs constantly change.
EXPOSURE TO THE WHOLE PROJECT
You'll understand what happens after a design is approved - suppliers, production, budgets, timelines, installation and delivery. That experience can make you a significantly stronger designer.
A VOICE IN THE BUSINESS
We're looking for someone who brings ideas, opinions and creative thinking to the table. We want you to contribute to where our design work goes next.
AI + THE FUTURE OF DESIGN
We want someone excited about where design is heading. We're actively embracing AI and emerging creative tools and want our designers continually experimenting with better ways to visualise and develop ideas.
A TEAM YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE PART OF
We're a collaborative, energetic team. We work hard when projects require it, help each other when things get busy and enjoy seeing what we've created come together.
HOW WE WORK
This is a
Sydney-based hybrid position
combining flexibility with genuine time working alongside the team.
The role includes:
1 day per week working from home
1 day per week from our city office
Remaining working days based around our wider team and project requirements
Because we design and deliver physical experiences, this isn't a fully remote design role. Being connected to the people actually delivering the projects is an important part of how we work.
You're a designer who has built a strong foundation but you're looking for
more exposure, more variety and more ownership
.
You want to work on recognisable brands.
You want to see your designs actually get built.
You like being around creative people.
You're interested in AI and where the design industry is heading.
And you're the kind of person who, when your own workload is quieter, is happy to ask:
"What can I help with?"
If that sounds like you, we'd love to see what you can do.
Cre8 Co.
Big brands. Bold ideas. Experiences brought to life.
