Attend rehearsals for in‑house productions, taking technical notes (with emphasis on sound) and producing reports as required.
Work collaboratively with FOH and other departments to ensure excellent customer service and smooth running of performances.
Assist with maintenance, repair, testing, and documentation of all technical equipment — sound, lighting, staging, projection, and flying — contributing to planned maintenance programmes.
Follow all Portsmouth Theatres Health & Safety procedures, ensuring safe working practices in all technical areas and contributing to risk assessments and compliance.
Wear uniform, protective clothing, and identification as required.
Participate in internal and external training and support the training of casual and volunteer staff across all technical areas.
Act as a key holder when required, ensuring the security of the venue.
Support educational and community activities, including supervision of students and technical support for youth productions.

Act as a First Aid appointed person and maintain a valid First Aid at Work qualification.
Work occasional additional hours, paid at the agreed flat rate, where authorised by the Chief Executive.
