Job Description

At Traction Studio, we make displays and custom structures that are used for brand activations, pop-up experiences and events for some of the world's biggest brands. Brands and agencies bring us their big ideas, and we bring the craftsmanship to make them real.

Instead of building stuff for homes or commercial fitouts, we build it for the marketing industry.

Due to our continuing expansion, we now have the opportunity to bring on a Trade Assistant, who will play a vital role in keeping our workshop running like clockwork and our hire inventory ready to go, whenever it's needed.
