We are seeking an experienced Venue Technician to support the delivery of a high-quality programme of concerts and events. As part of the School of the Arts Technical Team, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of internal and external performances and events, with oversight of stage equipment, live/recorded sound, lighting and AV. Reporting to the Technical Coordinator, you will be a member of a dedicated team supporting The Tung and on occasion, facilities more broadly in the Department of Music. You will coordinate a range of services and functions including infrastructure and Health and Safety. You will have working knowledge and experience of the creative practice, facilities, hardware, software and techniques used in live music venues as well as an excellent understanding of live music production across many genres.
You should have a BTEC Higher Level (or equivalent) along with significant relevant experience.
The majority of hours will be within the working week, but there will be a need to work some evenings and weekends. Hours worked above the contracted 35 hours each week will be remunerated in accordance with the University’s arrangements for paid overtime or taken back as TOIL (time-off-in-lieu) subject to prior agreement from the line manager.
We are conscious that there is a lack of diversity within the music industry and in Higher Education, and we therefore particularly encourage applications from individuals who self-identify as members of groups who are often under-represented.
