Traveling Install Team - Canton, North Andover, and Beverly MA

Long Hill, Stevens-Coolidge House and Gardens, and The Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate, public gardens and Trustees of Reservations properties in Beverly, North Andover and Canton are very excited to announce the return of our very popular event, Halloween on the Hill, and Winter Lights! The stunning grounds of Long Hill will be filled with autumnal delights including uniquely carved pumpkins, stunning light displays and beautiful fall foliage. The same is true for Stevens-Coolidge and Bradley with exciting and transformational holiday light displays that we call Winter Lights. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a traveling team that helps design, install and deinstall these shows.

For Long Hill: As part of this event, we are seeking several freelance artists to help us carve several hundred pumpkins (mostly fake) in a range of styles and to support the design and creation of various Halloween sets. The selected candidates will work directly with the Managing Director of Signature Events and the Associate Director of Events. The work schedule is flexible. We are happy to work with your availability! Ideally, we will put together a 4-person team that will work the same schedule and support each other.

For Stevens-Coolidge and Bradley: you will hang lights and help to design the light shows that adorn the properties. We create interactive elements, wrap trees, create custom overhead installations, and transform the properties into magical Winter Wonderlands. 

This is a paid position of $22/per hour. There is also a supervisor role available for $27/hr. All materials / tools required will be supplied.
