The Factory is our new permanent home opening in 2023, a world-class cultural space being built in the heart of the city, where we’ll present a year-round programme and artists will be able to develop work of huge ambition and scale that they might not be able to anywhere else.

<li>Working with external suppliers of equipment and builders</li>

<li>Identifying technical staffing needs for each show and building a team as required</li>
<li>Creating a project manual</li>
<li>Working with the Creative and Technical teams to create the relevant paperwork and safety documentation</li>
<li>Scheduling and chairing production meetings</li>
</ul>
 
UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES
We are looking for people who can start in Summer 2022. We currently have positions open for the following projects premiering in June/July 2023.  
<ul>
<li>Live art production combining live photography and dance</li>
<li>Music theatre production</li>
</ul>
By responding to this call out, you will automatically be considered for the above positions. Many more positions will become available from Autumn 2022, so we would like to hear from you even if the above projects don’t match your interests and experience.
 
What's next
We will contact you as and when we have a project that we feel is a good match for you. We will inform you of the project’s timescale, compensation and other details and invite you to an interview.  
Join us for our live Zoom session w/c 12 July, to meet the team and find out more about the opportunities available. Further details to come!
