Synopsis
Fractional Company pilot reported they followed the marshaller's parking instructions and upon exiting the aircraft discovered their wingtip had come in contact with an awning support.
Narrative
My first officer and I started our day in ZZZ1. We had a XA54 show with a XB54 departure ferry to ZZZ I was the flying pilot. The flight was uneventful we briefed the visual approach to Runway XXR. Once we landed; we rolled out to Taxiway X. We then taxied on Y to Z to FBO. We were marshaled into the ramp where we were going to be parked between a Gulfstream and the awning support poles. We stopped and checked our surroundings; there was adequate room between us and the Gulfstream. We continued as the marshaller taxied us in. He was more to the left side of the aircraft giving him a view of our left wing. We continued taxing until he signaled us to stop. We completed a normal shut down unaware that the wingtip had contacted the awning support. Following shutdown I opened the cabin door; and the marshaller was standing by our left wingtip. I walked over and as I did; he walked away. Other FBO employees came over immediately and they said that this guy was new and should not be marshaling aircraft. It was at this time I saw the winglet damage and the point the winglet had contacted the pole. The point where we were finally signaled to stop was over 10 ft. from the point of contact with the awning support. I watched the left wing as we taxied forward and from my vantage point it looked clear. While the marshaller was on the left side of the aircraft and should have seen that there was insufficient clearance but made no indication we should stop.
