This is an exciting opportunity for individuals wishing to develop their skills and further their career in the production and technical sector of the live events industry.

Integral to the building is the Production and Technical department who are responsible for the preparation, set-up, and operational requirements of every event across the Hall from the Main Auditorium, to Beyond the Main Stage areas including the Elgar Room and other spaces within the building.

Playing an active role on load-ins and load-outs as well as during rehearsals and the event itself, the technical supervisors have an overview of all technical activity taking place and are fully aware of the wider implications this can have on others.
