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.

At Peppa Pig World of Play, you’ll be the one helping keep the entire attraction running, safe, and ready for thousands of families every week. From repairing themed play areas to troubleshooting lighting, AV, and facility systems, your work directly powers the guest experience.

Qualifications & Experience

⚙️ 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.

🧰 What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, hands-on, and solutions-driven

  • At least 1–2 years of maintenance or handyman experience
  • Comfortable with:
    • Basic electrical and mechanical work
    • General repairs (painting, drywall, carpentry, etc.)
  • Experience with HVAC, plumbing, or AV is a plus
  • Able to work independently and stay productive without constant direction
  • Strong attention to safety and detail
  • A “jump in and figure it out” mindset

Benefits

The Perks of the Magic

  • 🎡 Fantastic Health Coverage: Enjoy comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits to keep you feeling your best.
  • 🌴 Generous Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to rest, recharge, and come back ready to create more unforgettable moments.
  • 🎟️ Merlin Magic Pass: Share the fun with free entry for you, your family, and friends to our world-famous attractions.
  • 🏆 Recognition and Rewards: Your hard work does not go unnoticed. Celebrate your achievements with exciting recognition programs.
  • 💰 401(k) Savings Plan: Build your future with our company-matched retirement program.
