Description

Job Summary

We want someone who takes real pride in how things look, sound and feel. Someone who knows their way around a Chamsys desk, can troubleshoot without tantrums, and thrives in a collaborative, multi-show environment with a brilliant in-house team.

Job Description

The Clapham Grand is on the lookout for a skilled, confident and collaborative Technical and Operations Engineer to take the reins of our show delivery and production infrastructure.

This is a dream role for a lighting and sound tech who's just as happy running a couple of mics and a backing track as they are programming a high-energy light show for a drag cabaret or switching AV inputs on the fly.

You'll be responsible for ensuring technical consistency, excellence, and safety across shows, and bringing some much needed continuity to a space currently relying on freelancers.

We want someone who takes real pride in how things look, sound and feel.
