Job Description

Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre is a vibrant, multipurpose venue delivering arts activities and performances for the whole community, including shows from education establishments, community groups, and professional touring productions. The centre is committed to the belief that engagement with the performing arts enhances skills, confidence, well-being, and personal development.

As Technical Manager, you will play a key role in supporting professional touring productions, in-house events, and, in particular, Monkton Wood Academy’s music and performing arts shows. You will lead all aspects of technical production, including lighting, sound, audio-visual, and set-building, while ensuring the highest standards of health and safety.

Your responsibilities will include supervising pre-rigs, setting up equipment, managing working-at-height procedures, maintaining technical systems, and mentoring student and adult volunteers. You will also support wider theatre operations, including H&S compliance, fire safety, PAT testing, and the training of production staff and volunteers.

This is a flexible and rewarding role for a proactive, collaborative individual with proven expertise across multiple areas of technical theatre, capable of both leading a team and working independently to deliver high-quality productions.
