We're looking for a skilled and detail-driven Fine Art Technician to join a well-established, industry-leading art logistics operation based in Middlesex. This is a fantastic opportunity to work across a genuinely varied project portfolio — from high-profile gallery and museum installations to private collections and international art fairs — with a team that sets the standard for best practice in fine art logistics.
The Role
- You'll be responsible for the safe handling, packing, transport, installation, and storage of artworks across a wide range of media and formats. Day-to-day, you can expect to:
- Handle and pack paintings, sculptures, installations, and delicate objects to the highest professional standards
- Execute on-site art installations and de-installations at galleries, museums, private residences, and fairs
- Load and unload artworks safely using appropriate lifting and securing techniques
- Complete condition checks and maintain accurate documentation including condition reports and packing lists
- Liaise professionally with clients, conservators, registrars, and couriers on live projects
- Support warehouse operations including artwork intake, inventory management, and storage
- Travel domestically and occasionally internationally for installations and exhibition setups
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 2–3 years' experience in a fine art handling, logistics, museum, or gallery environment — applications from outside the fine art sector will not be considered
- Proven installation experience — this is essential for this role
- Strong working knowledge of best practices in art packing, handling, and installation
- High attention to detail with excellent problem-solving ability
- Professional communication skills and the confidence to liaise with high-profile clients
- Flexibility with working hours and willingness to travel
- A full UK driving licence is advantageous but not essential
What's On Offer
- Salary: £30,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
- A fast, straightforward recruitment process — one face-to-face interview only
- The chance to join a recognised leader in the fine art logistics sector
If you have the experience and the eye for detail this role demands, we'd love to hear from you.
