Here at Thorpe Park our 2026 season is in full swing, and we are recruiting for a Senior Creative Technician (scenic and carpentry specialist) to join our epic operational technical services team!
As a Senior Creative Technician at Thorpe Park, you will be right at the heart of creating unforgettable guest experiences.
