Job Description

Job Description

Cadence is seeking a Scenic Fabricator who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and turning design intent into real-world builds. This role supports experiential and themed projects that come to life in live environments such as activations, events, and installations.



What you’ll do

  • Build scenic and experiential elements from drawings
  • Work with foam, plastics, wood, and mixed materials
  • Execute show-ready finishes when applicable
  • Adapt as builds evolve and solve problems along the way



Required skills

  • Strong drawing literacy (details matter)
  • Ability to understand artistic intent and execute accurately
  • Comfort working with non-standard materials
  • Clean, organized work habits



Why you’ll like working here

You’ll work with top quality tools on interesting builds that change all the time. This isn’t art-for-art’s-sake — it’s real-world fabrication where details matter and deadlines are real. If you like figuring things out, learning new techniques, and seeing your work go live in very public ways, this is a rewarding place to build.



Compensation & Benefits

  • $28–$38/hr, based on experience
  • Overtime paid when applicable
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Full-time positions; contract considered

This is a non-bargaining unit position.
