Do you thrive in the quiet before opening, swooping in to save the day with a level and a drill? Can you spot what’s not quite right—and make it perfect before anyone notices? We’re looking for an Exhibit Technician who turns punch lists into conquered quests and treats troubleshooting like an art form.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Swiftly knock out punchlist tasks—touch-ups, fixes, adjustments—with skill and speed
- Troubleshoot exhibit issues before the public arrives, from lighting hiccups to case alignments
- Work closely with teammates to solve problems creatively and efficiently
- Travel to museums and galleries to install or repair exhibits on-site
- Maintain high standards of craftsmanship, safety, and artifact care under tight deadlines
WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN YOUR RESUME
- Experience in fabrication, exhibit installation, or scenic carpentry is a must
- A fully stocked tool bag that’s always ready—and a mind that’s even sharper
- Flexibility to work odd hours and travel where the job takes you
- Attention to detail and a knack for thinking on your feet
- Commitment to museum-quality standards
- Comfort lifting up to 75 lbs and staying OSHA-smart.
