Head of Lighting & Video

Do you have extensive, recent professional experience managing a lighting department in a producing venue, and proven experience as a Production Electrician for large-scale shows? If so, you could be our new Head of Lighting & Video.

You will lead the Lighting and Video team to support designers, directors and all manner of artists in realising their vision, through the creative use of Lighting and video in projects that reach far wider than just our traditional performance spaces.

You will naturally be an exceptional technician, with the expertise to solve technical challenges, but you must also be a strong leader and manager, willing to share your expertise with your team.

You will manage a team consisting of Lighting and Video Managers, Lighting and Video Technicians and freelance and casual staff. You will be line-managed by the Technical Director and will work closely with Production Managers to deliver projects successfully. You will also provide technical support to our Studio Theatre Technicians in the Bramall Rock Void.

No two projects will be the same, and your open-minded approach, willingness to adapt, and most importantly; your desire to collaborate with a diverse range of people from all kinds of backgrounds will mean the work is never dull!

Pay for the role is £37,881 a year. This covers your work for 40 hours a week, over 6 days (Monday to Saturday) including weekend and evening work. You may be required to work on public holidays. Please see the job pack for more details on pay.
