To any Lego enthusiast, becoming a Lego Master Builder might as well be the pinnacle of one’s life. To be awarded such an honor would be like winning the Nobel Peace Price for Lego building.
As Lego turned from a plaything, to hobby, to art, to passion, getting recognition and becoming a legitimate authority in Lego art is one of the most sought after prize in the Lego world.
Since the conception of the idea of a toy with an element of endlessness to it, Lego couldn’t have been a more perfect toy. But how do you get to become a Lego Master Builder?
First of all, a Lego Master Builder is a person who is recognized by the Lego company as a designer. This means that a master builder is an accredited Lego designer and builder. A Lego Master Builder works on Lego’s theme parks, and the Legolands around the world as a builder. Each workday, he or she spends hours in the park, putting a lot of Lego bricks together to make a section of the park. Here is some good news for Lego enthusiasts, Lego is actually looking for more builders for their theme parks. To become a Lego Master Builder, a few requirements must be met. Aside from the mandatory age requirement of at least 18 years, an aspiring Master Builder must have an extensive experience in making Lego models. A background in model making is preferred. An applicant for a Master Builder position must also be able to read sketches and model drawings along with reading instructions in English. A basic knowledge in Lego elements is also a must. If you want to become a Lego Master Builder, you would need to follow a supervisor’s instructions and must be able to make quick and effective decisions if something goes wrong. Finally, a Master Builder for the Lego Group must have an eye for detail.
