Open Ignition Roles
No open Ignition roles at the moment… stay tuned!
Experienced with earth moving equipment such as bulldozers and skidsteers. Safe operation of machine to remove equipment from Apogaea trailers and stage in center camp. This position also supports Art Installations by lifting and safely moving heavy objects from open trailers to stand up on uneven ground. Can be some light trenching for propane lines using only a fork.
SAFETY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD! Fingers, limbs and clothing of artists must be watched at all times, so the ability to safely and SLOWLY manipulate machine arms and extensions is an absolute must. Will be working around inexperienced and often unaware participants so spatial awareness is key. Must be sober for shifts. Crew members are fed on Work Weekend and Exodus. If possible, plan on camping onsite the weekend before Apo or for Exodus.
