Job description

TAIT partners with artists, brands, IP holders and place makers to bring culture-defining, never-before-seen experiences to life. With a legacy of innovation spanning over 45 years, TAIT has grown from pioneering in rock ‘n’ roll concert staging to setting the global standard for extraordinary live events and experiences through cutting-edge technology, precision engineering, and creative design. TAIT’s 20 global offices have developed iconic productions and experiences in over 30 countries, all seven continents, and even outer space for renowned performers, theme parks, exhibits, and venues across the globe, including partnerships with Taylor Swift, Cirque Du Soleil, Royal Opera House, Nike, NASA, Bloomberg, Google, Beyoncé, and The Olympics
Position Purpose
This entry-level engineering role supports the design and development of structures, machinery, and rigging systems for live entertainment, themed attractions, and immersive environments. Working under the guidance of experienced engineers, this position focuses on building foundational engineering skills through the application of physics-based principles, structural analysis, and real-world problem solving.
The role contributes to engineering deliverables in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, partnering with multidisciplinary teams to bring complex concepts to life. This is an ideal opportunity for recent graduates seeking hands-on experience in structural engineering, stress analysis, and entertainment engineering systems.
 
Essential Responsibilities
  • Apply physics and engineering principles to solve complex structural and mechanical challenges in real-world applications
  • Design and engineer structural systems, machinery, and rigging that meet client specifications, industry standards, and jurisdictional codes
  • Perform and support structural analysis using hand calculations, proprietary tools, and simulation software (e.g., RISA-3D or equivalent)
  • Validate designs and clearly communicate technical results within a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment
  • Develop familiarity with TAIT’s engineering standards, product platforms, and solutions across live entertainment and themed environments
  • Coordinate with project managers, mechanical designers, third-party engineers, and internal stakeholders to align engineering execution with project goals
  • Collaborate with clients, suppliers, contractors, and external engineering partners to support successful project delivery
  • Partner cross-functionally across engineering, design, and manufacturing teams to ensure integrated and efficient project execution

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics required
  • Engineer in Training (EIT) certification preferred
  • No prior professional experience required; internship or project experience is a plus
  • Educational focus and interest in structural engineering, particularly stress analysis
  • Working knowledge of structural engineering fundamentals, including:
    • Stress and deflection of structures
    • Structural design for global and environmental loading conditions
    • Connection engineering
    • Aluminum structure design
    • Dynamic analysis principles
  • Familiarity with structural analysis tools such as RISA-3D or equivalent software
Professional Skills & Attributes
  • Strong problem-solving skills with attention to detail and a commitment to quality
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to shifting demands, ambiguity, and rapid timelines
  • Effective communication skills in a team-based, multidisciplinary environment
  • Demonstrated curiosity and eagerness to learn and grow within an engineering organization
  • Strong work ethic, sense of urgency, and sound decision-making ability
