Bluewater Technologies Group, Inc., founded in 1985, is the only woman‑owned business of its kind, bringing together multiple industry‑leading teams under one roof. Our mission is simple: unlock the potential of spaces. That potential might mean helping organizations communicate more clearly, operate more efficiently, or even monetize their environments in new ways. From large‑scale events and brand activations to workplace environments and permanent installations, we transform spaces into places that connect, inspire, and perform.

At Bluewater, you’ll find planners, makers, and innovators working side by side blending creativity, technology, and strategy to deliver experiences that matter. Rooted in our EPIC values (Excellence, Passion, Integrity, Collaboration- and Fun!), we’re driven by a shared purpose: to make people smile.

The Creative Technologist I is a hybrid strategic and hands‑on technical role responsible for translating client vision into executable reality. This role operates at the intersection of client communication, systems design, software development, physical integration, and live deployment.

The Creative Technologist works from pre‑sales through launch, ensuring that experiential concepts are technically sound, properly scoped, and successfully executed. They serve as the primary technical voice in client discussions while also guiding internal teams through implementation.

This role blends solution architecture, systems thinking, prototyping, QA oversight, and technical problem‑solving across digital and physical domains.

The Creative Technologist ensures that what we imagine can actually be built, and that what we build works flawlessly.
