Why LASERTRON?
This isn't typical construction.
You'll build attractions that thousands of people enjoy every year. Every project presents new challenges, different layouts, and unique environments. Instead of building the same thing every day, you'll help create one-of-a-kind entertainment destinations across North America.
As a Lead Construction & Installation Technician, you'll have the opportunity to travel, develop leadership skills, and work with an experienced team that takes pride in delivering exceptional results.
As LASERTRON continues to grow, opportunities exist to advance into Installation Management, Project Management, and other leadership positions.
