Job Description
Job Overview We are seeking a talented and motivated Scenic Carpenter to join our dynamic production team. In this role, you will be responsible for constructing scenic and experiential activations that bring sports, entertainment and household name clients to the live fora . Your expertise in carpentry and scenic fabrication will help create immersive environments that captivate audiences and elevate storytelling. This is an opportunity to build a career, not simply take another fabricator job. We are a growing Las Vegas-based experiential design and fabrication company creating high-end brand environments, exhibits, interactive experiences, permanent installations, and technically complex one-of-a-kind builds for national clients. Our projects bring together creative design, carpentry, CNC production, metal fabrication, welding, mechanical systems, technology, logistics, and installation. What Makes Us Different We take on ambitious projects that require creativity, precision, and serious problem-solving. Much of what we build has never been built before, and we expect our team to care deeply about the quality of the work. We are intentionally selective about the work we take on. We gate revenue, protect capacity, and prioritize the right projects over growth for growth's sake. The goal is not to become the biggest fabrication company as quickly as possible. It is to build an exceptional company known for ambitious work, strong execution, and a team that is proud of what it produces. We also do not believe burnout is a badge of honor. Great work should be sustainable. We prioritize mental health, work-life balance, clear expectations, and a culture where people can perform at a high level without sacrificing their lives outside of work. There will be demanding moments, but constant chaos is not the goal. The goal is to do exceptional work with good people and still have a life . Responsibilities Interpret and follow detailed blueprints, sketches, and production design plans using CAD software such as AutoCAD and SketchUp Construct scenic elements using hand tools, power tools, and heavy machinery while adhering to safe work practices Fabricate performance props and scenic components with precision, ensuring they meet artistic and technical specifications Install set pieces, rigging, and lighting fixtures safely on stage or event venues according to stage rigging standards Perform scenic painting and finishing techniques utilizing knowledge of color theory, scenic painting methods, and construction painting Collaborate with the art direction team to ensure the visual aesthetic aligns with the overall production concept Maintain a clean and organized workspace, manage manual handling tasks including heavy lifting, and ensure compliance with safety regulations at all times Requirements Proven experience in scenic carpentry, set construction, or other experiential fabricato roles with a portfolio of completed projects. Skilled in woodworking, fabrication techniques, scenic painting, and stage rigging with a solid understanding of blueprint reading Ability to operate power tools, hand tools, ladders safely, and perform manual handling tasks efficiently Knowledge of lighting design principles, interior design concepts, and visual arts painting is a plus Familiarity with safe work practices on construction sites or theater environments including heavy lifting and equipment use Strong attention to detail coupled with excellent communication skills for collaborating with diverse teams
