JOB DESCRIPTION:

This position is open to all individuals eligible for employment at the University of Florida and is hired through Other Personnel Services (OPS). UF students are eligible to apply; however, this is not a student-only position. Employment is part-time and scheduled based on operational and production needs, and hours are variable.

Part-time OPS Stagehands support UF Performing Arts production operations by assisting full-time staff and visiting production crews in the load-in, setup, operation, strike, and load-out of theatrical productions, concerts, special events, work calls, and other venue activities. This position requires the ability and willingness to work across multiple production areas and technical disciplines as operational needs require.

Essential Functions:

Production Support: provide general stagehand support for live events, including theatrical productions, concerts, special events, work calls, and other venue activities.
Load-In & Strike: support the load-in, setup, operation, strike, and load-out of production elements as assigned.
Stage Organization: maintain clean, safe, and organized stage and backstage work areas.

Collaboration: work collaboratively as part of a production team in a fast-paced live event environment.

These duties may include support in the following production areas:
