Seasonal Build Manager The Great Pumpkin Trail

Location: Wyoming, MN

Seasonal Contract Position: August through November (Potential for full time year round for right candidate)

The Great Pumpkin Trail is looking for a highly organized, hands-on leader to oversee the full seasonal build, setup, operations support, and teardown of one of Minnesota's largest immersive fall attractions.

This is not a desk job. This role is for someone who can lead crews, solve problems fast, stay organized under pressure, and physically help bring a large-scale seasonal event to life from the ground up.

The Build Manager will oversee the installation and removal of the attraction across a 4 to 6 week setup period, manage seasonal setup crews, coordinate logistics, maintain organization of inventory and dcor elements, and help ensure the attraction is fully operational and guest-ready on schedule.

Position Responsibilities:

  • Hire, train, schedule, and oversee seasonal setup and teardown crews
  • Lead day-to-day installation and removal of attraction elements
  • Oversee setup of pumpkins, lighting, dcor, pathways, signage, photo ops, props, and scenic elements
  • Coordinate wiring and placement of lighting and powered elements
  • Operate or oversee operation of utility vehicles, lifts, trailers, and equipment
  • Maintain organization of storage areas, inventory, props, and dcor throughout the season
  • Work alongside teams in a fast-paced outdoor environment
  • Delegate tasks effectively while maintaining high standards and timelines
  • Troubleshoot setup issues and adapt quickly to changing priorities
  • Assist with operational maintenance and attraction support during the event season as needed
  • Ensure safe working practices across all setup and teardown operations

Requirements:

  • Must be 18 years or older
  • Previous leadership or project management experience preferred
  • Comfortable leading crews in physically demanding outdoor work
  • Ability to lift, move, and carry heavy items throughout the workday
  • Comfortable working on ladders, lifts, and uneven outdoor terrain
  • Experience with tools, equipment, trailers, utility vehicles, or scenic/event builds is strongly preferred
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Reliable transportation to and from Wyoming, MN
  • Ability to work long hours, weekends, and flexible schedules during peak build periods
  • Must work well under pressure and maintain a positive attitude with teams

Ideal Candidate:

This role is ideal for someone with experience in:

  • Event production
  • Construction or scenic builds
  • Theme parks or attractions
  • Haunted attractions
  • Festival or live event setup
  • Warehouse/logistics management
  • Large-scale dcor installation

You should be someone who enjoys building things, leading teams, staying organized, and seeing a massive project come together from start to finish.

Schedule:

  • Contract runs approximately August through November (potential full time year round if right candidate).
  • Setup period: 4 to 6 weeks
  • Includes teardown following the event season
  • Hours will vary and increase during peak setup and teardown periods

Pay: Competitive pay based on experience.
