Summary
More Details
The Citizens Theatre is one of Scotland’s flagship producing theatres, rooted in our local Gorbals community with an international outlook.
We make bold productions of new plays and reinvent classics that speak to contemporary Scotland. Sets, costumes and props are all created in-house, and bring together a community of artists and freelancers who, along with our staff team, deliver inspiring experiences in Glasgow and beyond.
The Technical Manager is a new leadership role within the Production Department at the Citizens Theatre, supporting the Head of Production to plan and deliver the full programme of activity across the building. With direct management responsibility for the Stage department and Head of LX & Sound, the post holder will oversee all technical disciplines (Stage, LX, Sound & AV) to ensure the highest standards of delivery across all in-house productions, visiting work and the Studio programme.
This role combines hands-on technical expertise with departmental management responsibilities. The Technical Manager leads the Stage team – supervising fit ups, get ins and get outs, maintaining rigging and stage equipment etc – while coordinating technical support for visiting companies, hires & events and the Studio programme.
The Technical Manager role represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced stage professional looking to step into a broader management position while maintaining a strong connection to practical production work. The Technical Manager will play a central role in shaping the delivery and technical excellence of the Citizens Theatre programme.
This is an incredibly exciting time to become part of the Citz team – a once in a generation opportunity as we reopen one of Glasgow and Scotland’s most important cultural venues after a seven year transformational redevelopment.
Many of the Citz team have been with the theatre for a number of years, while others have joined during the time we’ve been out of the building. For all of us, this is a new adventure, as we have
reopened the theatre and welcomed back audiences, communities and artists.
We’re looking for people who are excited by this unique opportunity; people with passion and grit, who want to get stuck in and aren’t afraid of change. You’ll aspire to deliver work of the
highest quality, and care about the experience of the people you work with.
