Freelance Scenic Carpenter Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Build Cool Stuff. Get Your Hands Dirty. Make Some Magic.

Goblin Studios is looking for a talented Fabricator / Scenic Carpenter to join our

growing crew. We design and build immersive themed environments, giant props,

custom scenic elements, interactive experiences, and all kinds of weird, wonderful, and

one-of-a-kind creations.

No two days are the same around here. One week you might be building a themed

facade, the next you're helping install a massive project on-site. If you enjoy working

with your hands, solving creative problems, and seeing your work come to life, you'll fit

right in.

What You'll Be Doing

 Building scenic elements, props, and custom fabrication projects.

 Performing scenic carpentry and general shop fabrication.

 Working with the team to solve build challenges and create high-quality finished

pieces.

 Assisting with on-site installations (sometimes indoors, sometimes outdoors,

sometimes wherever the adventure takes us).

 Keeping the shop clean, organized, and safe. Seriously—everyone cleans.

Taking out trash, sweeping, organizing tools, and leaving your workspace better

than you found it are part of the job. If you think cleaning is beneath you, this

probably isn't the place for you.

 Working independently when needed while also being a solid teammate.

 Meeting production schedules without sacrificing craftsmanship.

What We're Looking For

Required

 The ability to read and translate technical drawings, CAD files and shop specs.

 The ability to construct custom props, flats, platforms and themed structures

using but not limited to wood, plastic and composite materials.

 Experience with scenic carpentry or similar fabrication work. (2 -5 yrs)

 Reliable transportation.

 Strong safe operation of standard woodshop machinery

 Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.

 Strong work ethic and attention to detail.

 Positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed.

 Flexibility to adapt as projects evolve.

 Ability to work well with others in a fast-paced shop environment.

Bonus Points If You Have

 Experience working with Bondo and fiberglass.

 Experience with themed entertainment, props, or exhibit fabrication.

The Schedule

This isn't your typical Monday-Friday, 9-to-5 job—and honestly, that's part of what

makes it fun.

Our schedule changes based on production deadlines and installation dates. Some

weeks are standard shop hours. Other weeks may include early mornings, evenings,

weekends, or longer days as we bring projects across the finish line. Flexibility is a

must.

Pay

Compensation is based on experience and will be discussed during the interview

process.
