  • Provide installation updates and site photos throughout the day.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site while following all safety requirements and PPE guidelines.

  • Attend site visits, walkthroughs, and pre-install meetings as needed.
  • Act with professionalism, adaptability, and a solution-focused attitude.

Qualified candidates will have:
  • Two to five years of onsite install experience.
  • Experience in carpentry, construction, event fabrication, retail displays, scenic production, theatrical production, or experiential installations.
  • Strong proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and woodworking equipment.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, and shop sketches.
  • Excellent problem solving skills and strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to multitask and remain organized in fast paced environments.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Reliable attendance, punctuality, and a professional work ethic.
  • Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively with a team.
  • Comfort using smartphones, tablets, and job site communication applications.

Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 75 pounds.
  • Ability to work on your feet for extended periods.
  • Ability to work indoors and outdoors in a variety of job site conditions.

This is a freelance, project based opportunity.

Ideal candidates have availability for:

  • Weekend work.
  • Occasional holiday work.
  • Local travel to job sites.

Install opportunities are offered based on project needs, and work volume will vary throughout the year.
