The role
We are seeking an experienced individual to take up the post of Performing Arts Technician (Sound) in the technical team, within the Operations and Events Department at GSA.
The Technician provides technical expertise to support the delivery of all programmes and the development and application of appropriate skills and capabilities, in order to assist the realisation of GSA theatre productions, other public arts events, research events, student society events, open days, conferences, lectures and meetings.
The team also provides equipment, support, mentoring and maintenance, ensuring a high standard for all GSA activities. Providing an excellent student experience is central to all we do.

You will be an experienced sound technician with good administrative, pastoral and inter-personal skills and knowledge of current practices and techniques in professional theatre and entertainment production.
You will be well organised, able to meet deadlines and manage your own workload, taking responsibility for supervising, demonstrating and mentoring students and freelance staff, managing and repairing equipment and the sound equipment budget.
You will have up-to-date knowledge of Health & Safety and a commitment to promoting safe working and inclusive practices.
