Estimator (Tradeshow & Exhibits)
Czarnowski Collective, Austell, GA, United States
The Company:
Czarnowski is one of the four studios of the Czarnowski Collective. It combines operations, strategy, design, and fabrication to create exhibits and events that engage communities, generate brand enthusiasm, and educate consumers. It’s been over 75 years since we opened our doors, but we’re still not resting on our reputation or accolades. We’re wondering “what if...” anticipating what’s next and embracing our role within the Czarnowski Collective as forward‑thinkers for forward‑thinking brands.
The Purpose: The Exhibit Estimator supports both the Rental and Custom Services groups by interpreting three‑dimensional design/CAD images to develop estimated fabrication cost proposals.
