Want to help build incredible theatre sets seen by thousands of people across the world?
Think you’ve got practical skills, creativity, or a love of making things? Join the talented team at TR2 — Theatre Royal Plymouth’s workshop for building world-class stage sets.
At TR2, we create scenery that tours the UK and beyond. From large-scale stage builds to bespoke art and exhibition structures, every project is unique. Our construction team works mainly with wood and metal, but we also use all sorts of materials to bring designs to life — and our scenic artists give every build a stunning finish.
You don’t need to know everything on day one. If you’re practical, curious, enjoy learning new skills, and like solving problems, you’ll fit right in. No two builds are the same — it’s a job full of variety, creativity, and teamwork.
Creativity and collaboration are at the heart of what we do. You’ll work alongside makers, scenic artists, managers and designers — sharing ideas, solving problems together, and bringing bold artistic visions to life.
We welcome people from all backgrounds. Diversity makes our team stronger, and we value different experiences, perspectives and pathways into this work. If you’ve got enthusiasm, a good work ethic, and a willingness to learn, we’ll support you to grow.
Our pay system has four grades based on skills and experience, and we support everyone to train and progress. Whether you’re just starting out or have experience already, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re proud of the quality of our work — and we’ll help you reach high standards too.
Working hours - 8:30am–5:00pm. Some flexibility and overtime will be needed.
Here is an overview of what you would be doing:
Ensure a safe working environment and production method is always maintained with regard to the health, safety and welfare of customers, visitors, staff and yourself.
The creation of sets and scenic items in wood, metal and other media to agreed designs and budgets.
To accurately interpret and work to drawings, designs and models, contributing creative solutions where needed, and delivering to agreed budgets and deadlines for TRP productions and commercial build contracts.
Ensure appropriate hand and machine tools are deployed to create scenic items, sets and props.
To work quickly, efficiently, responsibly and collaboratively in your team to deliver high quality project builds as per specification, on budget and to required deadlines.
To consistently apply and develop your knowledge, skills and behaviours as set out in the KSB document, including commitment to learning and continuous improvement.
To undertake training as and when required to progress your competency in line with the mapped development plan of the workshop roles.
Maintain good housekeeping in the workshop, ensuring effective storage, clean-up, and environmentally responsible use of tools and materials.
Moving and assembly of scenic items as directed.
To load and unload scenic items, equipment and materials in a safe and efficient manner.
To fill in and sign an accurate record of hours worked and materials used.
To contribute to excellent communication between departments and teams.
Contribute ideas for improving workshop processes, including innovations in materials, techniques, and team workflows.
To represent TRP when working on builds and projects at other locations and venues and to carry out such duties as required at these venues in line with expectations and the values of TRP.
Support and promote all company policy, with particular attention to Equality & Diversity, Customer Care, Health & Safety and Data Protection.
Any other reasonable duties as may be requested from time to time.
