The role allows you to apply and sharpen your finishing skills on a high-visibility venue, working alongside an experienced on-site crew in a professional construction environment.

Work Environment

The standard schedule runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with very little overtime expected and no weekend work anticipated. Work takes place on an active construction site at a new entertainment venue, where you will primarily grind and sand installed railings and prepare them for painting in coordination with the on-site crew. The environment involves working around construction equipment, tools, and materials, often outdoors and in the elements, so comfort with outdoor conditions is important.
