Waxman Staff Writer Jan 26, 2016 7:13 PM UTC Good news for anyone who was obsessed with [Legos](http://time.com/3089384/influential-toys/) growing up and who would like to escape the [snow](http://time.com/4190160/how-to-shovel-snow-without-hurting-yourself/): The creative division of Merlin Entertainment, which runs LEGOLAND theme parks worldwide, is looking to hire 20 “Master Model Builders” at their factory, known as the “Merlin’s Magic Making Hub,” in Lake Wales, Fla., a spokesperson tells TIME. The company says it is accepting applications from people of all backgrounds, so Lego fans don’t necessarily need to be architects or graphic designers to throw their hat in the ring. In the past, the [interview process](http://www.clickondetroit.com/community/lego-looking-for-master-model-builder-for-michigan-legoland) has involved [build-offs](http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/tourism/os-legoland-model-builders-20150825-story.html), requiring applicants to construct a Lego model based on a photo. The Florida site is said to have hired about 50 model builders so far, and there are about 100 of these builders working at facilities in California, Malaysia and throughout Europe. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4190556/legoland-hiring-lego-model-builders-designers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4190556/legoland-hiring-lego-model-builders-designers/"},"headline":"Florida's LEGOLAND Is Hiring People to Build Things All Day","datePublished":"2016-01-26T19:13:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:07.148Z","description":"Everything is awesome when you're paid to play with Legos for a living","url":"https://time.com/4190556/legoland-hiring-lego-model-builders-designers/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
