Scenic Fabricator

Build the environments people remember.

At Solid Light, we design and fabricate immersive environments for museums, cultural institutions, and brands. We are looking for a Scenic Fabricator with a strong background in finish carpentry, millwork, and custom builds—someone who takes pride in craftsmanship and enjoys bringing creative concepts to life.

This is not a production-line role. You’ll work hands-on with a collaborative team to create one-of-a-kind installations that blend storytelling, design, and physical space.

What You’ll Do

• Fabricate and install custom scenic elements, casework, and millwork for exhibits and environments
• Work from shop drawings and design packages to bring concepts into reality
• Assemble precision components, including parts produced via CNC
• Collaborate with designers, project managers, and fellow fabricators to ensure quality and intent
• Handle materials such as hardwoods, laminates, veneers, and specialty finishes
• Prepare, pack, and support installation of projects on-site
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace
• Adapt to a fast-paced, project-based environment with evolving priorities

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in finish carpentry, cabinetmaking, or millwork
• Experience in exhibits, museums, themed environments, retail displays, or custom fabrication is a strong plus
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and build details
• Strong working knowledge of woodworking tools and equipment (table saws, routers, nail guns, etc.)
• Familiarity with materials and finishes used in high-quality custom builds
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to craftsmanship and quality
• Team-oriented, reliable, and solutions-focused

What Sets This Role Apart

• You’ll work on unique, story-driven projects—no repetitive builds
• Projects range from museum exhibits to immersive branded environments
• Collaborative, design-forward culture with a focus on creative problem-solving
• Opportunities to see your work installed in real-world spaces

Additional Details

• Ability to lift and handle materials (up to ~75 lbs)
• Schedule: Monday-Thursday 6:00AM - 4:00PM (4x10 schedule)
• Willingness to work extended hours when needed to meet project deadlines
• Occasional travel for installations (domestic and international)
• Work environment includes active fabrication shops and installation sites
