  • Create and use silicone, urethane, plaster, fiberglass, and rigid “mother” molds as appropriate to the project.

  • Understand mold construction details such as parting lines, keys, flanges, release systems, reinforcement, and demolding.

  • Work with urethane, epoxy, polyester, and other casting or laminating resins according to product specifications.

  • Complete surface preparation, bodywork, sanding, shaping, patching, and finish-ready detailing.

  • Assist with CNC, 3D printing, foam shaping, sculpting, woodworking, and other fabrication processes as needed.

  • Follow drawings, shop instructions, material specifications, and established fabrication best practices.

  • Maintain an organized, safe workspace; use appropriate PPE, ventilation, and safe handling procedures for resins, fiberglass, dust, and solvents.

  • Track project time accurately using company software.

  • Communicate clearly, take direction effectively, and work collaboratively in a fast-paced shop environment.

  • Support overtime, changing project priorities, and occasional installation needs as required.

Required Qualifications


  • Significant practical experience with fiberglass fabrication, composite layup, resin work, casting, mold making, or related scenic fabrication.

  • Working knowledge of fiberglass mat and cloth, gelcoat, resin mixing, cure times, release agents, and finishing techniques.

  • Experience building or using molds for production casting, including silicone, urethane, plaster, fiberglass, or rigid molds.

  • Experience with surface finishing, sanding, trimming, grinding, patching, and repair of fiberglass or resin parts.

  • Ability to read shop drawings, dimensions, templates, and fabrication instructions.

  • Strong attention to detail, craftsmanship, problem-solving, and quality control.

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team.

  • Ability to safely lift, move, and work with fabrication materials and tools.

Preferred Qualifications


  • Experience in themed entertainment, film, television, museum exhibits, event fabrication, theater, or scenic shops.

  • Woodworking, scenic carpentry, sculpting, or scenic-painting experience.

  • CNC routing, 3D printing, digital fabrication, and foam shaping experience.

  • Experience with vacuum bagging, composite repair, or advanced fiberglass tooling.

  • Experience creating positive forms, master patterns, hard coats, and production molds.

  • Familiarity with urethane foam, rigid foam, EPS/XPS foam, clay, plaster, epoxy, and specialty coatings.

  • Experience with spray applications, color matching, texture work, and final scenic finishes.

  • Forklift, aerial lift, or other relevant shop-equipment certifications.
