I was asked to pass this along....
The Discovery Channel is looking for engineers for a test run of an upcoming show called Top Engineer.

Before shooting the real show with the real contestants, there will be a test shoot of teams tackling the engineering challenges to see how long each challenge takes, how much $ is required, what sort of tools & equipment are needed, how much space is required, how it all looks on TV, etc.
At this time, the Discovery Channel *may* not have enough people to draw on from those who applied for the show & weren't accepted, so they *might* want to add some more people to the test teams. This effort is still gelling, hence the vagueness.
The test taping of 8 challenges will be from 7/23/12 to 8/11/12, about 3 days per challenge. They plan on working Mon-Sat, 12-hour days, & they will pay $300/day. They *probably* don't want the same people for the whole shebang, so they'll *probably* swap people in & out over that time period. Much of the work will be here at WET, next to the Burbank airport, but some challenges will be executed elsewhere, at some bigger, safer, more remote locales, probably not more than 2 hours away from here(?)
If you're interested, write to
jbardis@wetdesign.com & let me know your available dates and add a quick biography/skillset list/resume.
Feel free to pass this along to anybody else who may be interested.
Bonus if you live in the Los Angeles area
