About Powerhouse
Powerhouse Museum is located at the intersection of arts, design, science, and technology and plays a critical role in engaging communities with contemporary ideas and issues. It is the custodian of more than half a million objects of national and international significance and is considered one of the finest and most diverse collections in Australia. We are undertaking a landmark $1.3 billion infrastructure renewal program, led by the creation of Powerhouse Parramatta; expanded research and public facilities at Powerhouse Castle Hill; the heritage revitalisation of the iconic Powerhouse Ultimo; and the ongoing operation of Sydney Observatory.
As a Workshop Preparator, you will play a key role in the fabrication, construction, installation, and maintenance of exhibitions, displays, object mounts, and artistic installations across Powerhouse sites. Working within a multidisciplinary production team, you will apply a diverse range of practical skills including metalwork, timber fabrication, scenic finishing, machining, sewing, acrylic fabrication, and 3D printing to create high-quality museum displays.
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled maker, fabricator, tradesperson, or exhibition professional who enjoys solving complex design and construction challenges, collaborating with artists and designers, and delivering exceptional outcomes that protect and showcase significant cultural collections.
If you are hands-on, highly skilled, and passionate about creating engaging public experiences, we'd love to hear from you.
