Job Summary

High Noon is looking for an experienced Head of Automation to join the upcoming production playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre later this year – Fixed Term Contract.

Job Description

Told in real time, this edge-of-your-seat thriller stars Tony and Emmy Award-winner Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, The Coast of Utopia) and Olivier Award- winner Denise Gough (Andor, People, Places & Things) with design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Tim Hatley (Back to the Future: The Musical, The Life of Pi) and lighting by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Frozen The Musical).

Once a searing allegory of Hollywood's blacklist, High Noon now explodes onto the stage in an unmissable new version that speaks urgently to the world today.

Set in the American West of the 1800s, High Noon rides on themes as relevant now as they were then. Courage vs. Cowardice. Justice vs. Peace. Duty vs. Desire. And at its heart, is the bond between Will Kane and Amy Fowler - a love tested by impossible choices as the clock ticks down to the return of deadly outlaw Frank Miller on the high noon train.

Start date - likely w/c 19th January 2026
Run to - Friday 6th March 2026
Show Schedule: 8 performances Monday-Saturday performances (Sunday rest day). Ad hoc rehearsal and press/marketing calls.
Rate of Pay: in line with relevant agreement for Category C venue

The ideal candidates will have experience on mid. to large scale productions.
