Job Description

What you'll bring to the team

If you’re the kind of person who can fix just about anything—and actually enjoy it—this is not your typical maintenance job.

At Peppa Pig World of Play, you’ll be the one helping keep the entire attraction running, safe, and ready for thousands of families every week. From repairing themed play areas to troubleshooting lighting, AV, and facility systems, your work directly powers the guest experience.

Qualifications & Experience

⚙️ What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This is a hands-on, all-day active role where no two days look the same:

  • Repair and maintain play areas, equipment, and building systems
  • Handle everyday fixes: painting, drywall, lighting, basic carpentry, and more
  • Troubleshoot issues across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and AV systems
  • Complete preventative maintenance to keep everything running smoothly
  • Support exhibit setup, installs, and improvements
  • Identify and fix safety issues before they become problems
  • Use hand and power tools daily to get the job done

👉 Bottom line: If it breaks, you fix it—and keep the fun going.

🧰 What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, hands-on, and solutions-driven:

  • At least 1–2 years of maintenance or handyman experience
  • Comfortable with:
    • Basic electrical and mechanical work
    • General repairs (painting, drywall, carpentry, etc.)
  • Experience with HVAC, plumbing, or AV is a plus
  • Able to work independently and stay productive without constant direction
  • Strong attention to safety and detail
  • A “jump in and figure it out” mindset
