Full Job Description

Job Overview

The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center is currently seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Scenic Theatre Technician to bring creative visions to life on stage. The Scenic Theater Technician supports the technical execution of live performances, events, and productions, with a primary focus on scenic construction, fabrication, and theatrical painting. This position is responsible for building, installing, maintaining, and repairing scenic elements and contributing to the safe and efficient operation of theater productions.

While scenic work is the primary focus of the role, the Scenic Theater Technician is encouraged to utilize additional technical theater skills- including lighting, sound, props, costumes, rigging, automation, carpentry, and stage operations- to support the overall production team. The ideal candidate is a skilled and versatile technician who is resourceful, safety-conscious, collaborative, and comfortable adapting to the changing needs of a live production environment.

Responsibilities

Performing a variety of duties related to the general maintenance and repair of the theater facilities and equipment as assigned.
Installing rigging, lighting, video and sound equipment, and scenery for theatrical, musical, lecture, and other entertainment events in The Garfield Theatre, or other required locations on or offsite.
Scenic Construction: Build flats, platforms, wagons, and structural scenic elements using wood, metal, foam, and composites.
Scenic Painting: Execute base coats, textures, faux finishes, aging/distressing, and color matching.
Rigging Support: Assist with safe installation of flown scenery and mechanical elements.
Load-in & Strike: Support efficient setup, changeovers, and dismantling of scenic elements.
Maintenance: Repair damaged scenery, reinforce structures, and maintain paint treatments.
Collaboration: Work closely with designers, stage management, and other technicians.
Shop Organization: Maintain tools, inventory materials, and uphold a clean, safe workspace.
Cross-Department Support: Apply any additional theater skills (lighting, sound, props, costumes, automation, carpentry, or stage crew experience) when beneficial to the production.
Documentation: Maintain build notes, paint formulas, and repair logs.
Communicating with staff openly and effectively.
Attending and participating in all scheduled meetings and training sessions.

Qualifications, Knowledge, & Experience:

Proficiency in carpentry, joinery, and safe operation of power tools.
Strong scenic painting skills: color theory, washes, glazes, scumbling, dry brushing, and faux finishes.
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and paint elevations.
Familiarity with welding, pneumatics, casters, or specialty fabrication (preferred).
Knowledge of theatrical materials and how they respond under lighting.
Experience and proficiency on Genie and Scissor Lifts.
Positive attitude, ability to remain calm and respond confidently and promptly to stressful situations, ability to adapt in a rapidly changing environment.
Excellent organizational and time management skills with the ability to prioritize and handle multiple, simultaneous tasks; finish projects on time.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team.
Ability to pass a State, Federal and Live Scan background check.

Physical Requirements:

Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights, and perform repetitive physical tasks.
May require sitting or standing for extended periods of time.
Occasionally required to climb or balance; and stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl.
Regularly required to communicate.
Specific vision abilities required by this job include close, distance, peripheral, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.

Join us as a Scenic Theatre Technician to craft immersive environments that elevate theatrical storytelling! Your craftsmanship will help create unforgettable experiences for audiences while working in a vibrant arts community dedicated to innovation and excellence in theatre production.
