Careers at SMART
Build the Work Behind the Experience.
Bring your trade, field judgment, and attention to detail to project work that rarely looks the same twice.
The work
What the work is like.
Attraction floors, fabrication shop, warehouse, and active construction sites. Here is the practical version.
Work is organized around project windows rather than a repeating weekly routine. A rehab, install, or shutdown has a fixed date to hit, and the crew plans backwards from it.
Days can run in an operating attraction, on a construction site, in the fabrication shop, or in the warehouse staging a shipment. Some tasks are indoors and precise; others are outdoors, elevated, or in tight structure.
Sites are shared with other trades and, at times, with guests and operations staff. Access windows, noise limits, and cleanliness expectations are part of the job, not an interruption to it.
Personal protective equipment is required on site and is specified by the site and the task.
Some roles support projects outside Central Florida. Travel expectations are confirmed for each role during the hiring conversation.
New crew members are introduced to the site rules, the scope, and the lead responsible for the area before they start production work.

Standards
What SMART looks for.
Trade skill matters. So does showing up, communicating, and leaving the area better than you found it.
Reliability
You arrive when the crew is called and you finish what you start. Project windows do not move because someone is late.
Attention to detail
You measure, check the drawing, and notice when something does not match before it becomes rework.
Safe work habits
You use the required protective equipment, keep the area clean, and stop when a condition is not right.
Clear communication
You tell your lead what you found, what you need, and where you are — early rather than late.
Follows plans and direction
You work to the approved drawing and the site direction, and you raise a question instead of improvising.
Role-appropriate trade experience
Experience expectations depend on the role. Some openings suit an experienced tradesperson; others suit someone reliable who wants field work.
Hiring process
How hiring runs.
Short, direct, and specific to the work being staffed.
Review
Your submission is reviewed against the roles that are actually staffing.
Conversation
A short conversation about your experience, the kind of work you want, and what the current projects need.
Skills or site conversation
For trade roles, a more specific discussion about the work itself — tools, materials, drawings, and site conditions.
Assignment and start
If it is a fit, you are matched to a crew and a project, and introduced to the lead before your first production day.

Applicant FAQ
Questions we get asked.
Not for every role. Some openings call for specific trade or ride-maintenance experience; others are a fit for someone reliable with hands-on work history who wants field work.
Central Florida is the base: the Orlando offices and production facility, plus project sites. Some roles support work outside the region, which is confirmed during the hiring conversation.
Both exist. Some roles are ongoing and some are tied to a specific project window. Each posting states its employment type.
Site-required protective equipment and tools are confirmed with you before you start. Ask during the conversation so nothing is a surprise.
A range is only published when it is approved for that specific role. Otherwise it is discussed directly so nothing outdated is quoted to you.
It goes to the people who staff crews. Career submissions are handled separately from project and sales inquiries.
