Technical Build Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Technical Build Specialist transforms creative concepts into reality through expert mockup creation, fabrication, assembly, and build execution. This role blends craftsmanship with design excellence, ensuring every project meets the highest quality standards.

WHO YOU ARE:

You’re a builder with a designer’s eye—equal parts craftsman and creative problem-solver. You thrive in hands-on environments where ideas move fast and precision matters. Whether you’re interpreting CAD drawings or bringing a napkin sketch to life, you have the technical skills and intuitive judgment to build with excellence.

You’re fluent in working with materials like wood, metal, foam, and other materials, can interpret electronic CAD drawings, technical schematics, and sketches with precision, and you understand how to pivot seamlessly between building prototypes and polished exhibit mockups. Collaboration energizes you and you enjoy working alongside designers, engineers, and clients to troubleshoot, refine, and execute builds that push boundaries.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Manage projects and tasks independently from start to finish, demonstrating strong initiative, problem-solving skills, and time management without direct supervision.

• Adapt to evolving priorities by taking on additional responsibilities as assigned, contributing to the team’s overall success.

• Seek out and consult with tenured team members for appropriate approaches and strategies for mockup fabrication, assembly, and installation.

• Contribute to safety culture by strictly adhering to safety and security protocols and proactively reporting potential hazards to management.

• Operate manual machinery with precision to ensure high-quality fabrication and consistent output.

• Promote a clean and organized workspace, maintaining industry-standard shop conditions and fostering productivity.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Completion of a formal apprenticeship or technical degree in a relevant field is highly preferred.

• 2+ years of experience with precision power tools, including drills, saws, grinders, sanders, and routers.

• Knowledge of mockups, exhibits, and display construction by interpreting rough sketches or detailed engineering drawings and descriptions.

• Demonstrated proficiency in construction standards, including advanced techniques, industry terminology, and specialized equipment operations.

• Proficient in interpreting CAD models, technical drawings, and sketches, and translating verbal instructions into actionable tasks.

• Proficient in construction mathematics, with practical knowledge of essential formulas and calculations.

• Understanding measurement systems, including hands-on experience with precision tools like calipers for accurate assessments.

• Proficient in MS Office Suite or other computer communication software.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $48 to $53 an hour. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
