What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a builder, creator, and operational problem solver who can bridge the gap between imagination and execution. Someone who understands how to take a creative vision and physically bring it to life through craftsmanship, logistics, leadership, and relentless attention to detail.

This role requires a leader who is equally comfortable reviewing renderings in a creative meeting, managing crews in a fabrication shop, and overseeing overnight installs on-site during live event execution.
