The Head of Stage (Deputy Technical Manager) Role

This is a very exciting opportunity for the right individual to join and assist in leading the Technical Team at the Liverpool Empire.

You will assist in the leadership and delivery of the technical operations of the venue.

This role will provide leadership on all day-to-day aspects of the stage infrastructure within the theatre relating to both the production and the building. Working closely with the Technical Manager, you will ensure there is an efficient, cost effective and robust maintenance plan in place, meeting all operational and compliance needs from a stage maintenance perspective. You will oversee casual stage crew and dressers, and alongside the Head of Lighting and Sound oversee the senior technicians and communicate closely with visiting productions & show management to ensure a smooth get in, fit up and get out. This role will involve regular evening and weekend work. Management experience is essential.

The role will be subject to a 6 month satisfactory probation period. The role also involves regular evening and weekend work as well as get-ins and get-outs as appropriate.

You will be working in a fast-paced environment, with no two days the same.
