• Prep the stage, yard, and auditorium for shows as per the advance.
• Maintain and update technical spec sheets, and ensure all show info is collected, shared, and filed.
• Book crew and order equipment as needed; raise POs and process invoices.
• Lead or support show stop briefings, ensuring all necessary parties are present.
• Be a go-to contact for promoters and clients, helping them navigate venue specs and logistics.
• Oversee maintenance and safety checks on technical gear and venue kit, including barriers and screens.
• Complete Health & Safety checklists and ensure the venue is ready for public entry.
• Liaise with production teams, tour reps, and promoters to keep everything running to time and in line with our license and safety rules.

What You'll Bring

• Experience in a production or technical role within a venue or theatre.
• Confidence in advancing shows and understanding production requirements (audio, lighting, staging, etc.).
