Who We Are

Wake The Tiger is a radical creative company born in the South West and the visionary force behind the world's first Amazement Park®. We fuse immersive art, storytelling, and purpose to create unforgettable experiences that disrupt the norm and ignite transformation.

Following the success of our Bristol site, we've expanded to London in 2026 with an all-new immersive world designed to spark imagination and challenge perception on a whole new scale.

Our mission is simple: We create immersive experiences for everyone, where art, storytelling and purpose collide - to inspire change today that transforms the world tomorrow.

Our vision is to: INSPIRE. DISRUPT. BELIEVE. For a better world.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled Prop Maker to join our team delivering new projects & maintaining the London park.

As Prop Maker you will have a good knowledge of prop-making processes, understand how to interpret designs from a creative team and have a keen eye for high quality finishing across all areas of making. Most importantly, you will be a hands‑on generalist who is comfortable trying different approaches and working across a variety of materials and techniques rather than specialising in just one area.

You'll be Responsible For

• Working with a range of materials to create props and scenery using mostly recycled materials or props.

• Interpreting creative briefs, technical drawings, written and verbal instructions, and visual references to translate concepts into practical, creative, and achievable making solutions.

• Contributing practical ideas to making when solutions are required.

• Creating props and scenic elements to the required quality standards, with appropriate attention to appearance, functionality, durability and safety.

• Collaboratively working with the Creative, Production and other departments to bring designs and ideas to life.

• Experimenting with tools, materials and methods; contributing to research and development, prototypes, new techniques and ideas for upgrades.

• Carrying out ongoing maintenance, repairs and improvements throughout the park considering visitor safety and experience.

• Keeping work areas organised and contributing to the upkeep, cleanliness and maintenance of the workshop.

• Maintaining awareness of tools, materials and consumables, flagging shortages, damaged equipment or
