Props, sets and brand activations. Not kitchens.

At Eizi Design Co., we design and build props, sets and custom structures for brand activations, events and experiences. Agencies and brands come to us with an idea and we work out how to actually build it.

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

Work has picked up and we're looking for another maker to join us at our Appin workshop on a casual or contract basis, taking projects from the bench through to install and pack-down.

About You

You're confident across materials. Timber, sheet goods, steel, aluminium, acrylic and foam are all familiar, and you know which approach suits which job.

You can read a drawing and understand what you're being asked to build before you pick up a tool.

You work to precise measurements and you notice the details. You care what something looks like when it's finished, not just whether it holds together.

You're comfortable on site as well as in the workshop. Bump in and bump out is part of this role, so you're happy to load the truck, install the work and pack it down afterwards.

You take ownership of your work and see it through. If you say something will be done, it gets done.

You're flexible with hours. Most weeks are straightforward, but installs mean early starts and the occasional weekend.
