CAD Detailing Manager

Addison, Illinois, United States

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences. 

That takes a team that’s bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you’ll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.

Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.

Turn visionary ideas into unforgettable experiences.

As our CAD Detailing Manager, you'll lead the team that transforms creative concepts into real-world environments that captivate audiences and bring brands to life. Working at the intersection of design, engineering, and production, you'll oversee the development of precise, build-ready CAD/CAM documentation that powers high-profile trade shows, immersive activations, and permanent installations.

This is more than a management role—it's an opportunity to shape how ambitious ideas move from concept to reality while building and developing a high-performing detailing team.

What You'll Do

Lead the Team Behind the Build

  • Manage and mentor a team of CAD Detailers across fulfillment centers and freelance resources.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
  • Recruit, develop, and coach talent while creating clear paths for growth and success.

Bridge Creativity and Execution

  • Partner closely with Sales, Project Management, and 3D Design teams to transform creative visions into production-ready documentation.
  • Ensure designs are accurately detailed, manufacturable, and optimized for efficient fabrication and installation.
  • Serve as a trusted technical leader, helping teams navigate complex design and production challenges.

Drive Operational Excellence

  • Oversee the creation and quality of CAD/CAM documentation for experiential environments and custom builds.
  • Develop and refine detailing standards, workflows, and best practices that improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
  • Align tools, systems, and processes across teams and facilities to create a seamless production experience.

Own Delivery Success

  • Lead project planning efforts, including scheduling, budgeting, workload forecasting, and resource allocation across multiple concurrent projects.
  • Participate in project kickoff meetings and fulfillment reviews to ensure alignment on scope, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Provide hands-on support when challenges arise, helping teams quickly resolve technical and production issues.

Innovate and Elevate

  • Explore new materials, fabrication methods, and production technologies that expand creative possibilities.
  • Champion process improvements and continuous innovation to help the organization scale and stay ahead of industry trends.

What Makes You Successful

  • Significant experience in CAD detailing within experiential marketing, trade shows, custom fabrication, production, or similar environments.
  • Proven leadership experience with a collaborative, hands-on management style.
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and a strong understanding of the entire build lifecycle—from concept development through fabrication and installation.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to build productive partnerships across teams.
  • Demonstrated project management experience, including planning, budgeting, scheduling, and resource management.
  • A passion for creating efficient, scalable processes and driving operational excellence.
  • Trade School Diploma, Associate's Degree, Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Technology, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience.

Leadership & Impact

This role directly leads the Detailing team and plays a critical role in shaping how we deliver exceptional experiential environments. You'll influence not only the quality of our builds, but also the systems, processes, and talent that make them possible.

If you're energized by turning complex ideas into buildable realities, developing high-performing teams, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression, we'd love to meet you.

Last but not least, we believe in diversity, equity and inclusion.

Jack Morton is an equal opportunity employer; we strongly value diversity at our companies. We do not discriminate on race, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by law.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
