Thanks everyone for their excellent ideas, especially Sparkie for her research. I went with exhibition contractor by virtue of its shortness and due to the fact that I needed a job title in my context (rather than a field).

trade fair construction


Explanation:
I think you can read "Projektleiter in den Bereichen Messebau, Messeberatung und in Eventabteilungen" and then use "trade fair construction"

See the following website which is available in German and English, though I don't know who's translated it into English :-)

http://fepmessebau.de/eng/crea_messebau.html
Our customers benefit from our international expertise and almost 3 decades of experience in trade fair construction.

And the equivalent German page, http://fepmessebau.de/deu/crea_messebau.html, reads as follows:
Unsere Kunden profitieren von unserem internationalen Know-how und der nahezu drei Jahrzehnte langen Messebau-Erfahrung.
