We are looking for a dedicated and reliable Stagehand to join our team for live events and performances. As a Stagehand, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of stage productions by assisting with the setup, maintenance, and breakdown of equipment and scenery. Your responsibilities will include moving props, setting up lighting and sound equipment, and supporting performers and technical staff as needed. Attention to detail, the ability to work under pressure, and a strong sense of teamwork are essential for this role. You will work closely with stage managers, lighting and sound technicians, and other crew members to create seamless and memorable experiences for audiences. Flexibility with working hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, is required, as most events take place outside of regular business hours. Physical stamina and the ability to lift heavy objects are important, as the job often involves manual labor. Previous experience in theater or live event production is a plus, but not required. We value a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a commitment to safety. If you are passionate about the performing arts and enjoy working behind the scenes, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
