- Wrap sculptures for transportation and delivery
- Load ice sculptures into company vehicles
- Deliver sculptures to customers throughout the local area
- Assist with production and shop operations
- Learn all aspects of ice sculpture creation and business operations
As you develop your skills, you'll have opportunities to:
- Create custom sculpture designs
- Learn 3D sculpture techniques
- Use V-Carve Pro design software
- Assist with customer communications and order management
- Become a key contributor to business growth and operations
