We design the systems behind unforgettable live experiences.

We’re looking for a Theatre Consultant / Systems Designer who operates at the intersection of design leadership, technical expertise, and project delivery.

This role is for someone who doesn’t just execute—but shapes projects: guiding clients, influencing design teams, and translating complex performance requirements into clear, buildable solutions.

You’ll take ownership of theatrical systems design across a range of venues—from early planning through construction—while serving as a key voice in interdisciplinary teams.

You’ll be trusted to:

• Lead conversations with architects, engineers, and owners
• Define system strategies—not just document them
• Elevate both design quality and technical rigor across projects

• Lead venue planning efforts (sightlines, seating geometry, stage/backstage planning)
• Design and integrate theatrical rigging, stage machinery, and lighting systems
• Develop clear, biddable narratives, specifications, and documentation
• Coordinate deeply with architectural, structural, and MEP teams
• Guide projects through Design–Bid–Build, including CA and system verification
• Represent the firm in client and design team settings

• You think in systems, not just components
• You can move between concept, detail, and construction seamlessly
• You’re comfortable leading rooms, not just contributing in them
• You balance design sensitivity with technical precision

• Meaningful ownership and influence on projects
• Direct collaboration with senior design teams and clients
• Hybrid flexibility
• Competitive compensation and full benefits
• Clear path toward principal-level leadership

If you’re ready to move from “strong contributor” to “trusted design leader,” we’d like to hear from you.

• 5+ years relevant experience in theatrical consulting or systems design (2+ years as a Senior Consulant or above)
• Proven experience delivering projects through Design–Bid–Build
• Strong specifications writing (CSI Master Format)
• Advanced Revit (preferred) and/or AutoCAD proficiency
• Technical expertise in rigging, stage machinery, and lighting systems integration
• Working understanding of building systems integration and code constraints
