Must also use step stools or small ladders when needed, demonstrate fine motor skills for handling small objects and preparing archival materials, and maintain strong visual acuity for both detailed cataloging and evaluating exhibit layouts. The role may include working in temperature-controlled storage rooms, workshops with occasional dust or equipment noise, and supporting events that require setting up or moving exhibit components.
