We are looking for an experienced Set Designer / Set Builder to take the lead on a custom television/podcast studio build inside an existing commercial office space in Solana Beach, California.

The set has a sophisticated dark steakhouse / speakeasy / executive-club feel and includes a small raised stage, scenic flats, wood/wainscoting treatments, curtains, framed artwork, integrated practical lighting, television monitors, host and interview areas, and accommodations for multiple cameras, microphones, lighting and cable management.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has professional TV, film, commercial, broadcast, podcast or production-set experience

Can both design and physically build—this is a hands-on position

Understands production lighting, camera angles, sightlines and how sets photograph

Has experience building flats, platforms/stages, scenic walls and finish carpentry

Can source lumber, finishes, carpeting, curtains, lighting, hardware and other materials locally

Has their own professional tools and transportation

Can work efficiently inside an occupied/commercial office environment

Understands cable management and integrating production equipment into a setCan complete the project on an aggressive two-week schedule

Ideally has a partner or small crew available to help expedite the build

We are especially interested in people who have worked in television art departments, production design, scenic construction, broadcast studios or commercial production.

This is not a major sound stage build. The footprint is relatively compact, but we want it executed extremely well. The goal is to make a smaller office studio look like a high-end television set on camera.
