Role Introduction

We’re looking for an Electrical Fabricator to join our Engineering Fabrication team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. You’ll build, wire, inspect, and test the control system hardware that helps bring our large-scale animatronic creatures to life.

This is a hands-on technical role working with bespoke equipment rather than mass-produced systems. You’ll turn electrical control designs into practical, build-ready equipment for our workshop teams and projects.

A Little About the Role / Why This Role Matters

Every movement our creatures make relies on carefully built and installed control system hardware. You’ll work closely with our Controls, Engineering, and Mechanical Fabrication teams to build equipment cabinets, construct cable looms, support commissioning, and make sure each component is ready to perform reliably. Your accuracy and practical judgement will directly affect how our animatronic systems operate during testing and in front of live audiences.

Why CTC?

Creature Technology are award winning global leaders in creating awe inspiring creatures that captivate visitors at some of the world’s most exciting visitor attractions and theatre productions. We are an all in one design, engineering, and fabrication studio. Combining creativity, artistry, and cutting edge technology to bring animatronic characters to life.
