Why This Role Matters
Our features are living systems—part show, part infrastructure, part art. The reliability, safety, and performance of those systems depend on the people who understand them deeply and can keep them running in the real world. As a Senior Field Service Engineer, you’ll see the direct impact of your work every time a feature comes to life in front of a crowd.

If you’re a senior technician or engineer who wants serious field responsibility, cutting edge electrical and controls work, and the chance to see the world while working on unique, large scale kinetic water features, we’d love to talk.
