Planning and delivering the upgrade to the main stage automation system.
Assisting in the planning and delivering of the new installation of the Linbury automation system.
Supporting and maintaining automation systems within the ROH, alongside planning and procurement of new equipment for upgrades and shows.
Delivering a quality service for the Flys automation operation with regard to safe working practice and Health & Safety policy.
Managing the installation of the automation control in ROH performance spaces with minimal disruption to day to day operations.
Managing the maintenance of automation systems.
Our ideal candidate will have:
A proven track record of sufficient experience in technical automation installation and servicing with major establishments including the staging of opera and ballet productions.
A track record as a trained and competent operator of an automated flying system.
Experience of advanced show integration/show control technologies.
Strong planning skills and ability to deliver to deadlines with allocated resources.
Ability to run a successful training and development programme to ensure sufficient trained operators and pipeline undergoing assessments and training.
