We’re looking for an experienced Fabrication and Installation Coordinator to join our small, collaborative studio in Los Angeles. This is a full-time, in-person role—not an entry-level position. We’re seeking someone with significant experience—ideally 8+ years in design-build or art fabrication—who can bridge the worlds of design, hands-on making, and on-site installation.
You’ll work closely with project managers and Benjamin Ball to help realize complex, large-scale public artworks. This role involves a mix of shop work, install leadership, and coordination—ideal for someone who thrives in both the physical and organizational sides of making.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
Translate design intent into clear shop drawings and install documents
Work in Rhino to prepare layouts for waterjet/CNC fabrication (light Grasshopper use)
Help lead or support on-site installations—especially out of town • Coordinate logistics: freight, rigging plans, install sequencing
Collaborate with fabricators and vendors
Step into hands-on fabrication when needed—especially during prototyping and preinstall prep
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
At least 8 years’ experience in design-build or public art fabrication
Solid, working knowledge of Rhino for fabrication workflows • Familiarity with a wide range of materials and techniques (metal, chain, rigging systems, etc.)
Experience leading or supporting installations
Comfortable traveling and working at project sites around the US and the world
Calm under pressure, comfortable with ambiguity, proactive and self-directed
Detail-obsessed but flexible in process
Based on the east-side of Los Angeles or willing to relocate quickly; this is not a remote role
This is a chance to contribute meaningfully to public artworks, speculative design, and design-build architecture. You’ll be part of a team that values material intelligence, collaboration, and thoughtful execution. We work hard, think carefully, and try not to take ourselves too seriously.
How to Apply
Please email resume and cover letter (please list salary requirements) to christina@ball-nogues.com. Please include Job.art in the subject line.
