Nice work if you can get it, if you like playing with Legos, that is.

By David R. Smith

Legoland Discovery Center Boston is holding a public competition that will turn someone’s love of Legos into a dream job.

“Brick Factor,” which will take place Jan. 25 and 26 at the Boston Public Library, is a competition to find the attraction’s master model builder. The full-time, salaried position is responsible for constructing new features, exhibitions and models at Legoland Discovery Center Boston, which opens in May at Assembly Row in Somerville.

Those wishing to compete in Brick Factor must complete and submit the online application at www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/boston/brickfactor by Jan. 15. Applicants must be 18 years or older as of Jan. 26.

Competitors will tackle several construction challenges over two days and compete in multiple rounds.

Besides a natural love of Legos, a potential candidate should be creative, a skilled model builder and passionate about working with and teaching the thousands of children that will visit the attraction each year.

“The Brick Factor Competition is a unique opportunity to turn one lucky individual’s hobby into a dream job,” Legoland Discovery Center Boston GM David Gilmore said. “The master model builder will become an integral member of the team, bringing all the incredible Lego brick models within the attraction to life. We can’t wait to put New England’s building skills to the test.”
