LA28 does not provide relocation assistance for any positions. If you are based outside the Los Angeles area, we still welcome your application — we value talent from all geographic backgrounds and want to hear from you if you are able to work on-site in LA. 

Role Purpose 

As Senior Associate, Containment, you will help design and deliver the temporary infrastructure that makes venues safe and buildable for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Working with internal teams and external partners, you will adapt international requirements to local practice, advance engineering designs into construction-ready drawings, and support cost-effective, consolidated containment across venues. It is hands-on delivery work, moving designs through increasing levels of detail while keeping health, safety, and schedule at the center of every decision. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Collaborate with internal teams on containment technical design and development across multiple venue and infrastructure sites. 

• Adapt IOC requirements to local practice and codes, following established engineering design guides and principles. 

• Advance engineering designs through increasing levels of detail toward accurate, construction-ready drawings for build and installation. 

• Coordinate internal and external stakeholder requirements to develop cost-effective, consolidated, and buildable containment solutions across the program. 

• Support venue design books, technical publications, and integrated workplans aligned to the overall infrastructure master schedule. 

Required Competencies 

• 4+ years of experience in large infrastructure integration, with specific experience in containment considered a strong plus. 

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or architecture, or equivalent hands-on industry work experience, is required for this role. 

• Advanced knowledge of engineering and collaboration software, including Revit, AutoCAD, and other Autodesk design and modeling tools. 

• Strong command of collaboration and document tools such as SharePoint, Smartsheet, and the Autodesk Cloud collaboration environment. 

• Knowledge of relevant US industry codes and containment activities, with strong communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder negotiation skills. 

Valued Experience 

• Experience with major sporting events such as the Games or World Cup. 

• Experience with temporary, pop-up, or experiential installation design. 

• Knowledge of California Building Code and relevant industry standards. 

• Familiarity with US permitting, inspections, and construction processes. 

• Knowledge of US construction suppliers and unions. 

What We Offer 

• Hands-on ownership of containment work that shapes real, buildable venues. 

• A once-in-a-career opportunity to help deliver the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

• Exposure to complex temporary infrastructure across multiple venue sites. 

• A collaborative team where pride is earned through visible, delivered results. 

What This Role Means for the Games 

Containment is part of what turns a site into a safe, working venue. Your designs help LA28 build cost-effective, code-compliant infrastructure across venues, and during the Games your work moves into the field where plans become the spaces athletes and fans use. 

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions 

• Available to work onsite in our Downtown Los Angeles-based office. 

• The majority of work will be conducted in an office setting, requiring extended periods of time using computers, phones, and other office equipment. 

• The LA28 office is an open floorplan working environment; employees must be able to work efficiently in an open cubicle environment. 

• Hours of work may vary, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, especially during peak event periods. 

• Perform other duties as required; the role will evolve over time and may include operational responsibilities during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

• Travel to venue sites and partner offices as needed; work becomes primarily field-based during delivery and the Games.
