Where you'll make an impact Projects may include theatrical and performance venues, sports and concert arenas, hotels and hospitality spaces, interior and exterior architectural environments, and facilities supporting live productions.

Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, organization, and follow-through. Adaptability across changing project settings, schedules, site conditions, and customer needs. Valid driver's license and ability to commute independently to work and job locations. Availability to occasionally work nights and weekends based on project, performance, event, or service needs.
