To fully activate our new performance spaces, we are expanding our staff team and are now seeking to appoint a Support Technician to contribute to the day-to-day operation of teaching and learning facilities relating to sound, lighting, AV, show control interfacing and multimedia performance.
The School of Performance at Wimbledon provides a single campus experience where Acting and Performance and Performance Design and Technologies are delivered together. With live performance as its primary focus, the school provides a collaborative and technically rich environment where ‘performance’ can be fully explored.
As a Support Technician, you will provide assistance and advice by utilising your knowledge of theatre lighting, sound and audio-visual equipment, including the use of analogue and digital equipment and theatre-related software (e.g. Qlab).
You will undertake daily preparation of facilities and resources, ensuring that they are supplied and maintained in safe and effective working order and that Health and Safety requirements and risk assessments are complied with. You will also assist with the preparation of learning materials, equipment and consumables for students and staff and provide support and advice to students, escalating queries and problems and higher-level requests to team members where relevant.
About you
