Set Builder (Expression of Interest)
Cavalry is building a pool of experienced Set Builders for upcoming projects.
We’re looking for practical, hands-on set builders who can help bring simple set elements to life — from kitchen flats and walls through to staircases, platforms, and other basic structures.
This is an opportunity for skilled makers who enjoy getting stuck into the build and can work efficiently, economically, and to a high standard.
What you’ll be doing
- Building basic set elements and structures to project requirements
- Constructing items such as kitchen flats, walls, staircases, and platforms
- Working from drawings, references, or straightforward briefs
- Using materials efficiently and working to budget
- Ensuring builds are safe, sturdy, and fit for purpose
- Working independently or alongside a small production team
- Adapting quickly to different project requirements and timelines
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for
- Previous experience in set building, scenic construction, carpentry, theatre, events, film/TV, or similar
- Strong practical construction and making skills
- Comfortable working with common tools and materials
- Able to interpret basic plans, drawings, and measurements
- Resourceful, reliable, and solutions-focused
- A good eye for detail and a focus on quality
- Ability to work to deadlines and within an agreed budget

The opportunity
We’re particularly interested in hearing from economical, capable set builders who can take on smaller-scale builds without the need for a full design or production team.
This is an Expression of Interest, so we’ll keep your details on file and reach out when a suitable project comes up.
Interested? We’d love to hear from you.
