• A positive approach and a commitment to high standards, with the ability to work unsociable hours, sometimes at short notice.
• Previous experience working with stage technology or in stage management is desirable.
This is a physically demanding role and you will be required to set up for and pack down after events and must be able to move between different levels of the venue using stairs.
Candidates must be willing to undertake all required training for the post.
