Job description

What you'll bring to the team

Fancy helping bring some of London’s most immersive attractions to life? We’re currently looking for a Studio Technician (Scenic Carpenter). From building scenic sets at The London Dungeon, creating props for Shrek's Adventure! London and maintaining exhibits at SEA LIFE London Aquarium, you'll play a key role in creating unforgettable guest experiences behind the scenes.

Working here is anything but ordinary. We're looking for a hands-on, creative individual with a passion for scenic construction, prop making and themed environments. As a Creative Technician, you'll support the creation, maintenance and development of sets, props, costumes and exhibits, ensuring our attractions are always presented to the highest standard.

Using your carpentry skills, you'll construct and maintain scenic sets and exhibits, support new and seasonal projects, assist with attraction setup and shutdown procedures and help deliver exciting marketing and PR activations. You'll work closely with Studios Management and operational teams to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

This is a permanent role with a minimum of 30 hours per week, working any 4 days out of 7. Additional hours may be available depending on projects and business needs. Flexibility is required as our attractions operate daily, including weekends, bank holidays and occasional out-of-hours project work.

Qualifications & Experience

  • A background in Scenic Carpentry, Prop Making, Technical Theatre, Construction, Art & Design or a similar creative discipline.
  • Experience in theatre, film and TV, immersive experiences, visitor attractions or similar environments would be advantageous.
  • Practical carpentry skills and confidence constructing, maintaining or repairing scenic sets, props and exhibits.
  • Excellent attention to detail and pride in delivering world-class presentation standards.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities, work to deadlines and adapt to changing workloads.
  • A proactive approach to problem solving and a willingness to get involved in a variety of projects and operational tasks.
  • The ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • A strong commitment to health and safety standards in a workshop and attraction environment.
  • Relevant qualifications in Theatre Arts, Construction, Prop Making, Technical Arts or equivalent practical experience.
  • A First Aid at Work qualification would be beneficial but is not essential.

Benefits

  • 40% discount off LEGO® sets and products on the online LEGO Store!
  • Merlin Magic Pass: Free tickets for you, your family and friends to enjoy all of our Merlin Attractions across the world!
  • 25% discount in Merlin retail shops and restaurants (a brilliant extra treat when you’re using your Magic Pass to visit!)
  • Staff discount codes for Merlin Annual Passes to gift to loved ones!
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Access to Perks at Work which 30,000+ national & local employee discounts

If you have any questions or if you require any reasonable adjustments, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at recruitment@merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
