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.

⚙️ 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.
