Working with a range of materials to create props and scenery using mostly recycled materials or props.
Interpreting creative briefs, technical drawings, written and verbal instructions, and visual references to translate concepts into practical, creative, and achievable making solutions.
Contributing practical ideas to making when solutions are required.
Creating props and scenic elements to the required quality standards, with appropriate attention to appearance, functionality, durability and safety.
Collaboratively working with the Creative, Production and other departments to bring designs and ideas to life.
Experimenting with tools, materials and methods; contributing to research and development, prototypes, new techniques and ideas for upgrades.
Carrying out ongoing maintenance, repairs and improvements throughout the park considering visitor safety and experience.
Keeping work areas organised and contributing to the upkeep, cleanliness and maintenance of the workshop.
Maintaining awareness of tools, materials and consumables, flagging shortages, damaged equipment or maintenance requirements to the appropriate person.
Preparing materials and tool lists for assigned builds where required, and communicating stock needs in good time.
Following agreed project priorities and communicating progress, potential delays, material shortages or other issues that may affect delivery, quality or safety.
Following workshop health and safety procedures, using tools and equipment safely, adhering to relevant COSHH requirements, using appropriate PPE, and promptly reporting hazards or risks.
Adapting to changing creative and operational requirements while maintaining a calm, practical and productive approach.
You’ll Bring the Following to Our Team
Good knowledge of prop-making processes, materials and methods of construction.
Competence across a wide variety of scenic methods and finishes.
Confidence using hand tools and power tools safely.
Experience working in a busy workshop, managing multiple projects or tasks at the same time.
The ability to interpret and visualise briefs, including drawings, written instructions, verbal direction and visual references.
