Job Description Job Description Overview: We design and build
immersive, interactive sets and environments that transport guests
to entirely new worlds—combining craftsmanship, storytelling, and
technical precision to create unforgettable experiences in the
entertainment and attractions industry. As a Scenic Carpenter,
you’ll be part of a tight-knit fabrication team that turns design
concepts into reality. From architectural set pieces and
large-scale cabinets to finely crafted wooden props and specialty
scenic elements, you’ll build a wide variety of components that are
