Fancy helping bring some of London’s most immersive attractions to life? We’re currently looking for a Studio Technician (Scenic Carpenter).

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.
