Universal Orlando Resort is hiring for a technical position related to fireworks at its upcoming theme park, Universal Epic Universe. The job posting is notable because it mentions existing fireworks work, even though the park doesn’t currently have daily firework shows.
A job for a “Tech III, Show Operator” specializing in pyrotechnics (fireworks) was posted in early April 2026. The deadline to apply is April 23rd.
Job Responsibilities and Requirements
This job involves working with fireworks during live shows. Daily tasks include setting up and loading fireworks, helping during the performance, and cleaning up afterward. The operator may also assist with maintaining the equipment and keeping track of inventory.
This job needs someone with technical skills. Universal is especially interested in applicants who have worked in theme parks, theaters, or other live entertainment venues. Because the job involves working with fireworks and special effects, a strong understanding of safety procedures is essential.
The highlight of this is that the position revolves around “daily” fireworks operations.
Currently, the park doesn’t have a daily fireworks show. Universal has used fireworks for special events like park openings and holidays such as the Fourth of July and New Year’s. But they haven’t said they plan to add a regular nighttime show.
However, this phrasing has naturally left many excited for what daily fireworks at Epic may mean.
Other Related Job Postings
This job isn’t a one-off. Universal is also hiring for other roles related to fireworks at the new Universal Epic Universe park.
We’re currently hiring for technical roles in fireworks, including Tech II and Lead Tech positions. These jobs primarily involve getting pyrotechnic systems ready and overseeing their setup, rather than actually running the fireworks show.
Having many positions open at various experience levels shows Universal is actively hiring a larger team. This team will be responsible for both preparing and running the pyrotechnic effects during events.
Speculation About a New Nighttime Show
The recent job listing has sparked rumors about a possible new attraction. While Universal hasn’t officially announced a new nighttime show, the hiring of a fireworks operator indicates they’re likely planning to use fireworks more regularly.
A trademark application from December 2025 provides additional information. The name “Universal Celestial Goodnight” was officially registered for use with entertainment services, specifically a show at an amusement park.
What the Job Posting May Indicate
Universal is still hiring technical staff for its new Epic Universe theme park. Their emphasis on pyrotechnics indicates they’re planning a large-scale nighttime show that will happen every day.
At this time, there is no confirmed timeline for any new nighttime production.
