About the Role

We are looking for a reliable, organised, and proactive Freelance Project Coordinator to support our small, friendly exhibition build team on an ongoing part-time basis. This role is ideal for someone who works school hours, wants flexibility, and is happy operating as a self-employed freelancer. Training is provided, and over time you will become a key part of our project workflow. This is not a full-time employment role — it is a regular freelance position billed by the hour.

Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate and track all aspects of exhibition projects

- Liaise with clients, suppliers, and workshop staff

- Prepare and manage detailed graphic and print files (high accuracy essential)

- Schedule materials, deliveries, logistics, and deadlines

Hours & Flexibility

Typical hours:

- 9am–4pm (or 10am–4pm)

- 4 days per week (approx. 24–28 hours)

The exhibition industry can involve early starts, late calls, and weekend work during peak times. You must be willing to take occasional calls outside standard hours when the Director is on-site at NEC/ExCeL or other venues and during peak Exhibition periods.

Additional hours will sometimes be required during peak exhibition periods, and we always give reasonable notice.
