Lighting Operator

Description

Department: Production Technology

Reports To: Sr. Manager, Projects, Events, Production Technology

The lighting operator is required for each game to operate a preprogrammed light show that is executed before the game starts, this is for both hockey and lacrosse. There are complex time‑coded sequences, using a go command, and basic programming required for each game. Rehearsals pre‑game allow time to build anything required before the show, such as an Anthem singer needing to be lit in a different position.

The MA lighting console controls the lighting, ice projection and triggers other external show elements via DMX. Cross training for projection as a second lighting position will be a part of this job.
