Harlequin is a global retail design agency specializing in the design, production, and installation of award-winning retail environments, window displays, interiors, and pop-up spaces.

With studios and operations in key markets including New York, London, Milan, Shanghai, and Dubai, Harlequin collaborates with leading brands to create impactful, visually engaging customer experiences.

Our team combines creativity, craftsmanship, and technical expertise to deliver projects from concept through fabrication and installation. Joining Harlequin means working in a multidisciplinary, international environment where projects are constantly changing and quality, problem-solving, and attention to detail are essential.

Harlequin is looking for an experienced Custom Fabricator / Metalworker to join our production team at our Farmingdale, NY workshop.

This is a hands‑on, multidisciplinary fabrication position rather than a dedicated welding role. While strong metal fabrication and welding skills are important, our projects require a wide variety of materials, techniques, and fabrication methods.

One week you may be fabricating and welding a custom steel structure, while the next may involve assembling a retail display, integrating LED lighting, building a scenic element, modifying an existing fixture, preparing components for installation, or helping solve an unusual fabrication challenge.

We are looking for someone who enjoys this variety and has a broad range of practical fabrication skills.

The ideal candidate is a problem‑solving fabricator who can look at a drawing or finished design intent, understand how something needs to be built, and work with our technical and production teams to turn it into a high‑quality finished product.
