We are OnFife and as Fife’s largest cultural organisation we specialise in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up and imaginations run wild. We work with a huge range of partners, artists and creatives and our spaces are some of Fife’s favourite places. An ambitious leadership-oriented charity, we’re built on strong values, and those values make us who we are – Fearless, Inviting, Fair and Exciting.

Along with this, you can also access discounted gym/swim memberships and other employee benefits.

The Role

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Technicians team working across all four of our theatres in Fife. This is a peripatetic role, meaning you’ll support the existing teams based at each venue. You’ll be involved in all aspects of technical work, including lighting and sound design / production, stage management and audio-visual delivery for events and conferences. You’ll also work alongside the teams responsible for equipment maintenance and ensuring health and safety standards within the venues.

You can view the full job spec on our current vacancies page on our website.

About You

Our theatre technicians work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, often under tight deadlines and with multiple shows / events running at the same time. As such you’ll be comfortable working under pressure and to agreed deadlines.

Whilst you may have a specialised field experience (i.e. sound or lighting), you will need to have general experience in all other technical elements as the role will require you to cover all areas within the theatre. Strong IT skills and good working knowledge and experience of specialist equipment (sound, lighting, AV systems) is required.

A high degree of flexibility is required as hours will always include evening and weekend work.

The role can also be physically demanding so a strong level of fitness is required for this job.

As the role requires you to work across all four theatres, access to your own personal transport is essential (travel expenses are covered).
