Lead the strategic direction of all aspects of engineering services, creating a culture of exceptional service delivery focused on enhancing the visitor experience.
The estate of the Royal Ballet & Opera includes three sites: the main site in Covent Garden with a 2,000+ seated theatre dating from 1858, a redeveloped stage, rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, workshops, offices, and ancillary spaces completed in 1999; a second theatre and front-of-house spaces delivered via the Open Project in 2018; the Production Workshop and Costume Centre in Thurrock, Essex; and a 14,000m2 store in Aberdare, Wales.
