Love Building, Fixing, and Figuring Out How Things Work? We Want You!

Miami Children's Museum is looking for a hands-on, resourceful Exhibits & Maintenance Technician to join our team!

This isn't your typical maintenance job. Instead of working on the same things every day, you'll help keep our interactive exhibits running, build and repair creative installations, and make sure thousands of children and families can continue to play, learn, and explore.

Whether your background is in maintenance, carpentry, construction, fabrication, or general handyman work, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Do

• Build, fix, and create! Repair, assemble, modify, and improve interactive exhibits throughout the Museum.
• Put your handyman skills to work. Handle carpentry, painting, sanding, patching, hardware replacement, and general repairs.
• Solve mechanical mysteries. Troubleshoot buttons, switches, sensors, lighting, small motors, and other interactive components.
• Get hands-on with technology. Assist with basic audiovisual equipment, monitors, projectors, and interactive systems.
• Bring new exhibits to life. Help install, assemble, and maintain permanent, temporary, and traveling exhibits.
• Keep things running smoothly. Perform routine inspections and preventive maintenance to ensure exhibits are safe and ready for visitors.
• Work with a creative team. Collaborate with Museum staff and outside vendors to tackle repairs and improvements.

• Have hands-on experience in maintenance, handyman services, carpentry, construction, fabrication, or mechanical repairs.
• Know your way around hand tools, power tools, and basic workshop equipment.
• Enjoy troubleshooting and finding practical solutions when something isn't working.
• Have experience with basic mechanical or low-voltage electrical components.
• Are dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
• Can adapt to different projects and priorities throughout the day.
• Have basic familiarity with computers or audiovisual equipment, or are willing to learn.
• Are available to work occasional evenings or weekends as needed.

Bonus points if you have experience with:

• Interactive exhibits or attractions
• Theater, entertainment venues, or museums
• Specialized fabrication or exhibit installation
• Audiovisual systems and equipment

These are a plus, not a requirement!
