Job Description

Overview:
We design and build immersive, interactive sets and environments that transport guests to entirely new worlds—combining craftsmanship, storytelling, and technical precision to create unforgettable experiences in the entertainment and attractions industry. As a Scenic Carpenter, you'll be part of a tight-knit fabrication team that turns design concepts into reality. From architectural set pieces and large-scale cabinets to finely crafted wooden props and specialty scenic elements, you'll build a wide variety of components that are both beautiful and functional. Every piece you create will be installed in a real-world interactive experience that thousands of guests will engage with firsthand. This is a fast-paced, deadline-driven production environment that rewards focus, pride in workmanship, and a shared commitment to delighting our guests. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with specialists in CNC machining, finishing, scenic painting, and technical effects—each playing a role in bringing complex, multi-layered environments to life. The people who thrive here are problem-solvers, collaborators, and mission-driven builders who find real meaning in delivering joy and awe through hands-on craftsmanship. We're not just a woodshop—we're a hospitality-first company. If you believe that carpentry can be a vehicle for creativity, storytelling, and purpose, this could be the place you stay and grow
