Recruitment Manager at Royal Ballet and Opera
Fixed term contract for 1 year
Salary c. 55k based on skills and experience
Based in: Covent Garden, London
Full time; 40 hours per week including overnight work
The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.
We are in the midst of a major programme of work which will bring together a range of energy and sustainability initiatives, infrastructure replacement works, and individual projects which will help to transform the working environment across our estate. Like much of the RBO estate, the technical estate was installed in 1999 and is now reaching the end of its life or has been superseded by technological advancements.
The Technical Estate Renewal Team is underway in a multiyear upgrade of all the technical stage systems in the building. Ongoing and future works include upgrades of stage machinery, stage lighting, sound, video, and broadcast equipment, all delivered in close cooperation with operational colleagues working around a demanding rehearsal and performance schedule.
This newly created Electrician role is critical to carrying out enabling works, installation of temporary electrical systems, electrical upgrades and the removal of obsolete existing cabling and electrical systems as well as proactive and reactive maintenance. Our ideal candidate will be an experienced electrician who can be a subject matter expert and work across a range of projects independently. They will be able to evidence:
* Diploma or NVQ in electrical systems
* BS7671: 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (City and Guilds 2382-22)
* Training and experience in the use and operation of mobile elevating work platforms
* Experience of electrical works in entertainment or commercial spaces
* Knowledge of Health & Safety regulations
* Experience with electrical containment and associated fire compartmentation practices
Please note, this role will be required on site for overnight maintenance and installation works. There is also a summer maintenance period where holiday is embargoed throughout July and August.
Closing date for applications: 8am, Monday 9th June 2025
Applicants must have work authorisation for the UK. No agencies.
