Warwick Arts Centre is one of the largest arts centres in the UK, presenting a year-round programme of theatre, dance, music, comedy, film and visual art. Behind every performance is a technical team that makes it happen, and we're looking for an Assistant Theatre Technician with a lighting bias to join us.
You’ll be working as part of a multi-skilled technical team. Whilst your focus will be lighting, assisting to rig, focus, programme and operate lighting systems across all our performance spaces, the role covers the other departments: stage, sound, AV and workshop, to support the wide programme of events that take place at the arts centre. No two days look the same. One might be a touring dance company, the next a comedy night, a conference or a film screening.
You’ll work independently on allocated activities, supervise casual and freelance staff when needed, maintain equipment, fault-find under pressure, and help keep our venues safe and compliant with health, safety and licensing requirements.
