permanent

The Royal Ballet and Opera, situated in our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.


The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are.

We are now seeking to recruit a Senior Technician who will hold a sound and video systems bias and be responsible for the administration, servicing and maintenance of systems and infrastructure, such as the building-wide 2-way radio comms, production-based comms, paging, MATV and audio/video show relay.

 

You will ensure that the operational needs of the department are scheduled and carried out efficiently and safely. You will also contribute to long-term planning to manage the development and improvement of the department’s technical systems.

 

This role will suit a candidate with strong communication skills, who has a collaborative approach to working as well as the ability to work unsupervised and with initiative. You will be willing to learn new skills and train others; sharing knowledge across the department. 


You will also be able to demonstrate: 

  • Thorough understanding of current sound and video equipment and systems used in the entertainment industry
  • Experience of maintenance and accurate record keeping
  • Proficient user of software pertinent to the role.


The below will be advantageous so please do reference them on your application if applicable:
