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.

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.

-
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.
