- 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.

- 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.
