  • Configure PLC systems for automated scare sequences, ensuring precise timing and reliable triggering every night

  • Assemble and pressure-test pneumatic systems powering animatronics and motion-based props

Nightly Show Readiness

  • Conduct thorough pre-show walkthroughs, testing and resetting all technical elements before doors open

  • Remain on-call and on-site throughout operational hours to respond immediately to any show-critical failure

  • Diagnose and repair malfunctioning props, lighting, sound, and control systems with minimal downtime
