Deputy Head of Electrics

The Deputy Head of Electrics role will assist the Heads of Department and Technical & Buildings Manager with the day to day running of the theatre from a technical perspective. You will assist with the get ins, fit ups and get outs of new productions and visiting events, as well as assisting with the maintenance and upkeep of the theatre.

Whilst the role of Deputy Head of Electrics supports the Head of Electrics, there may be opportunities and occasions when you will be required to support other areas of operation, including stage, maintenance and facilities for example.

You will be working in a fast-paced environment, with no two days the same. There will be opportunities to support work across our West End estate of theatres, working with various productions to ensure a smooth production period. This role involves regular evening and weekend work.
