Fabricator Intern
About The Position
As a Fabricator Intern, you won't just get to see DI's projects come to life—you'll help build them. You'll work hands-on alongside DI's experienced fabrication team to construct real client projects using a wide variety of materials, tools and techniques. Our work is highly custom, which means you could be building something for a professional sports venue, museum, corporate environment or entertainment destination—and the next project may be completely different. You'll learn what it takes to turn drawings, designs and raw materials into finished experiences while gaining practical experience in a professional fabrication environment. If you like working with your hands, figuring out how things go together and seeing something tangible at the end of the day, this is an internship where you'll get to do exactly that.
