The dream job for any Lego fan!

Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester is recruiting - and it’s the ultimate dream role.

The position of Master Model Builder will see the successful applicant tasked to play all day, every day, and not ‘work’ a day in their life.

The unique position is one of only 24 in the world, less than a fifth of the number of trained astronauts!

Putting the applicants through their paces will be Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester’s toughest panel of judges – the attraction’s very own Creative Crew aged just six to ten years old (pictured below).

The mini panel will challenge applicants to prove their worthiness through a series of interviews and a creative build off, where applicants will have the opportunity to show they have ‘Bricks of Talent’.

The role, the first opening of its kind in the Barton Square attraction’s eight-year history, boasts a generous salary and is anticipated to attract thousands of applications.

AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego) keen to become a part of ‘Team Legoland’ should register their details at: https://manchester.legolanddiscoverycentre.co.uk/mmb-recruitment/.

Successful applicants will then be challenged to create the ultimate inspirational build, in response to the Creative Crew’s own design brief.

A public event will provide fans with the opportunity to comment on their favourite and get hands-on themselves.

“This is a hugely exciting time at Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester,” says Jenn McDonough, General Manager Manchester Cluster, Merlin Entertainments.  

“Such is the success of our popular family attraction, that we now need a second Master Model Builder to join the fast-paced and brilliantly creative team here, to provide guests with an even more memorable and fun experience whilst visiting the attraction.”

Creative Crew member Samuel Barker, aged 10, added: “I think a Master Model Builder should be imaginative, know what they’re doing with the Lego! And, be a good, fun person to be around.”

Applicants are encouraged to create ‘stand-out’ upon registering for the role and to increase their chances of bagging a seat to compete at the build-off through sharing their creative ideas and designs via social media using the hashtag #masteroflego.

Based at the ever-popular Barton Square Legoland attraction, the successful Lego fanatic crowned Master Model Builder, will be top of the class in creativity, design and brick-building. 

They will also be of a fun disposition working with kids and families in free-build workshops.
