Lighting Technicians

The Role 

We are delighted to be recruiting for Lighting Technicians to join our Hourly Rate team

You should have a good working knowledge of lighting to ensure the highest quality of technical delivery throughout all performances, events and conferences.

Based on discussions with clients/artists, production notes and venue house styles, lighting states are designed and plotted during set up and rehearsal. During the show, lights are operated either as a cue stack or as ‘busked’ faders (or both) depending on the style and needs of the event.

• Ensure that all technical setups and installs follow the correct Health & Safety Codes of Practice and correct PPE is used
• Routinely report equipment faults or issues to the relevant technical manager
• As a lighting technician, work with and assist other technical departments (Sound, Filming, Stage Management)
