Summary
We are recruiting a Senior Production Technician to support the delivery of technical and production requirements across the Marlowe Theatre Main House and Studio programmes, as well as contributing to special events, learning and participation activity, and artist development work.
The Marlowe Theatre’s technical team is highly regarded on the touring circuit for its professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to best practice. As the Trust continues to expand its own produced work and touring activity, the Senior Production Technician will play an important role in helping to realise these ambitions.
Reporting to one of the three Heads of Department, you will work as a multi-skilled technician across all performance spaces. You will bring a strong understanding of theatre production and the wider industry, up-to-date knowledge of health and safety practices, excellent interpersonal skills, and demonstrable experience working with a broad range of technical equipment.
The role of Senior Production Technician is a multi-skilled position, and we welcome applicants from all technical disciplines; we are particularly keen to hear from those with experience in, or an ambition to develop skills in, stage craft and counterweight flying.
The Marlowe Theatre is an inclusive and disability confident employer. We value difference and recruit by merit based on fair and open competition. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes them unique.
