Job description

Help Build the Spaces and Experiences That Bring Exhibitions to Life

The Anchorage Museum is a museum of people, place, planet, and potential. Through exhibitions, storytelling, art, science, history, and community engagement, we create experiences that connect people to Alaska, the North, and the ideas shaping our future.

As the Exhibitions Technician, you will help transform exhibition concepts into engaging physical environments for visitors. Working as part of the Exhibitions team, you'll support the construction, installation, maintenance, and repair of galleries, exhibit components, and display environments throughout the Museum.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail, and values being part of a collaborative team that creates meaningful visitor experiences.

What You'll Do

Exhibit Fabrication & Construction

  • Assist with the construction and fabrication of exhibition environments, display components, and special projects using a variety of tools and materials
  • Support finish work and detail work that contributes to high-quality visitor experiences
  • Build crates and prepare artwork and artifacts for safe handling and transport
  • Assist with exhibit upgrades, repairs, and fabrication projects as needed

Gallery Preparation & Finishing

  • Prepare gallery spaces for new exhibitions, including wall repair, patching, painting, and finishing work
  • Perform wall painting, spray finishing, and surface preparation for exhibitions and displays
  • Help maintain high presentation standards throughout Museum galleries and exhibition spaces
  • Coordinate with contractors and project teams during exhibition changeovers to ensure timely completion of work

Exhibition Installation & Maintenance

  • Assist with the installation and deinstallation of temporary and long-term exhibitions
  • Support the placement of artwork, artifacts, exhibition furniture, and displays
  • Perform routine maintenance and repairs to exhibition environments and exhibit components
  • Help strike exhibitions and salvage reusable materials, equipment, and supplies

Shop Operations & Team Support

  • Maintain clean, organized, and safe workshop, warehouse, and storage areas
  • Manage and organize supplies, hardware, tools, and materials needed for exhibition projects
  • Operate Museum vehicles and equipment to transport materials, furniture, and exhibit components
  • Support a culture of safety through proper use of tools, equipment, lifts, and personal protective equipment

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking a dependable and skilled technician who enjoys working with their hands, solving practical challenges, and contributing to projects from start to finish. You may be a strong fit if you bring:

  • Experience with commercial, construction, shop, theatrical, or exhibit-related painting and finishing work
  • Knowledge of wall preparation, wall repair, spray finishing, and general surface preparation techniques
  • Familiarity with basic carpentry, construction, fabrication, or related trades
  • Experience using hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment safely and effectively
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
  • Ability to interpret project instructions, drawings, work orders, or construction plans
  • Strong organizational skills and an ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, contractors, and partners
  • Commitment to workplace safety and responsible use of equipment and materials
  • A valid driver's license and ability to travel locally as needed
  • Forklift, lift, warehouse, installation, or museum experience is helpful but not required

We recognize that people develop valuable skills through many paths, including construction, fabrication, theater production, exhibit work, maintenance, painting, skilled trades, and other hands-on professions. If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute your skills to the Museum's mission, we encourage you to apply, even if your experience doesn't match every qualification listed.

Why Join Us?

As an Exhibitions Technician, you'll help create the physical spaces where visitors learn, connect, and discover. Your work will directly support exhibitions that inspire curiosity, tell important stories, and serve our community.

If you enjoy building, creating, problem-solving, and seeing the results of your work take shape in public spaces, we'd love to hear from you.
