Ready Set Inc. is first and foremost, a service company. Since our start in 1997, we’ve been the standard bearer for set-building in the NYC metro area. Our mission is to exceed client expectations. We deliver solutions from our Custom Fabrication shop and our Rentals Division is here to accommodate the needs of clients who may not have the time or budget to have a set custom made to spec.

We’re constantly on the lookout for dependable people to add to our crew of skilled carpenters and scenic artists.

The Rental Shop Production Assistant supports the daily operations of Readyset’s rental department,

with a focus on order accuracy, inventory organization, and asset accountability.

This role is responsible for ensuring that all rental orders are complete, correct, and properly prepped

before leaving the shop, and that all returned items are checked in, accounted for, and evaluated for

damage or missing components.

This is an entry-level production role with a strong emphasis on organization, attention to detail, and

ownership, with opportunities to grow into fabrication and scenic carpentry.
