Set Builder ( Expression of Interest )
Cavalry is building a pool of experienced Set Builders for upcoming projects.
We’re looking for practical, hands-on set builders who can help bring simple set elements to life — from kitchen flats and walls through to staircases, platforms and other basic structures.
This is an opportunity for skilled makers who enjoy getting stuck into the build and can work efficiently, economically and to a high standard.
What you’ll be doing
Building basic set elements and structures to project requirements
Constructing items such as kitchen flats, walls, staircases and platforms
Working from drawings, references or straightforward briefs
Using materials efficiently and working to budget
Ensuring builds are safe, sturdy and fit for purpose
Working independently or alongside a small production team
Adapting quickly to different project requirements and timelines
What we’re looking for
Previous experience in set building, scenic construction, carpentry, theatre, events, film/TV or similar
Strong practical construction and making skills
Comfortable working with common tools and materials
Able to interpret basic plans, drawings and measurements
Resourceful, reliable and solutions-focused
A good eye for detail and a focus on quality
Ability to work to deadlines and within an agreed budget
The opportunity
We’re particularly interested in hearing from economical, capable set builders who can take on smaller-scale builds without the need for a full design or production team.
This is an Expression of Interest, so we’ll keep your details on file and reach out when a suitable project comes up.
Interested? We’d love to hear from you.
