Steel City Displays – Phoenixville, PA

At Steel City Displays, we believe in The Power of WE, craftsmanship, creativity, and collaboration coming together to build unforgettable experiences. Every exhibit or environment we create is more than materials and measurements; it’s a story built with radical intentionality, precision, and pride.

We are a creative exhibit and design-build company experiencing steady growth, and we are looking for a Skilled/Finish Carpenter to join our production team. Cabinet makers, fabricators, and finish carpenters are an excellent fit for this role. If you take pride in your work, think independently, collaborate well with a team, and want to grow your craft over the long term, we’d love to meet you.

Position Overview

As a Finish Carpenter & Fabricator, you will help transform design concepts into physical environments, trade show exhibits, museum displays, university sports installations, showrooms, traveling activations, and more. No two projects are the same, and that’s what we love about this work.

You’ll work in our Phoenixville production facility and occasionally on-site for installations. Strong laminating skills and/or CNC experience are a plus, but we are also willing to train the right person who is committed to learning and growing with us.
