Work Environment

The Fabrication Apprentice works in the fabrication area of our shop, where medium to high noise levels and other potential hazards exist — safety equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, or ear protection is required. The work is often physical, involving lifting, bending, and standing for long periods. The role follows a standard schedule but may sometimes require additional hours to meet project deadlines, and depending on the project there may be opportunities for on-site work during exhibit installations.
