The Real Deal Before You Apply

These are roles for people who already know their craft. We'd rather you self-select now than find out in week two — here's what the job actually is.

What You Get

  • Real craft variety — high-mix work, no assembly-line monotony
  • A culture genuinely committed to career growth — we promote from within
  • An 85,000 sq ft working shop (shared with our Great Big Game Show team), built for the craft
  • A team that refers their friends here — and they stick
  • Steady, full-time W-2 work with benefits

What It Takes

  • Real trade experience — you've put in time on wood, paint, scenic, CNC, electronics, or metal, and your work shows it
  • You can read plans and specs and hold a quality bar without hand-holding
  • Comfortable on your feet all day, lifting ~50 lbs, working safely around tools and machines
  • Reliable and accountable — the build schedule depends on you
  • Reliable transportation to Smyrna

We grow our people — but these are skilled roles. We're hiring for craft you already have, not starting from zero.
