About The Position

As a Model Animation Resetter / Cleaner at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, you’ll play an important behind-the-scenes role in keeping our incredible LEGO models, animations, interactives and attractions looking their best and running smoothly. From sparkling LEGO models to miniature cars, boats and moving attractions, you’ll help make sure the magic is ready to go when our guests arrive — and stays that way throughout the day! You’ll help care for and maintain our amazing LEGO models, props and facilities throughout the Resort, including Miniland. Your day could include washing and cleaning LEGO models before the park opens, checking animations and interactive elements, helping reset miniature cars and boats, assisting with minor repairs, and making sure everything is working as it should. During busy days, you may also help the Animation Technicians open Miniland by starting up equipment, testing interactives, resetting boat loops, and charging and launching miniature cars. Once the park is open, you’ll carry out regular inspections throughout Miniland, keeping an eye out for damaged models, malfunctioning animations or anything else that could affect the guest experience. You’ll work alongside our Animation Technicians to carry out resets and repairs and help keep downtime to a minimum. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with our guests! Whether you’re answering a question, pointing someone in the right direction, or simply sharing a little LEGO magic, your friendly and helpful approach will help create a memorable experience. A big part of this role is making sure our models and surroundings look fantastic. You’ll wash, sweep and mop LEGO models, props, roads, floors, walkways, landscaping and related facilities throughout the Resort and at off-site locations when required. You’ll use cleaning products, detergents, waxes and sanitizing chemicals, as well as specialist equipment such as pneumatic shot-blasting equipment when trained and required. You’ll also help keep work areas tidy by emptying trash, moving cardboard and materials to the appropriate stations, and sorting LEGO for recycling. You’ll work as part of the Model Shop team and assist with projects, general model maintenance and other tasks as directed by management.
