Job Description
The DeBartolo Performing Arts Center seeks a highly skilled and customer-focused Lead Performing Arts Technician (LPAT) to join its four-person Technical Services team. Operating across the Center’s five diverse and active venues—the Leighton Concert Hall, Decio Mainstage Theatre, Philbin Studio Theatre, Reyes Organ and Choral Hall, and the Browning Cinema—this linchpin, multi-functional role is instrumental in ensuring the flawless execution of approximately 90 performances and special events annually.
The ideal candidate excels in technical proficiency, fosters strong collaboration with all stakeholders, and possesses a dedicated service attitude toward both internal teams and external visiting artists. Due to the nature of live events, this position requires an irregular schedule, including frequent night and weekend work.
Key Responsibilities: Technical Skills & Execution
This role requires a high degree of technical versatility and operational excellence:
Theatrical & Architectural Lighting Expertise: Serve as the primary Lighting Supervisor and/or Lighting Designer for performances, as well as oversee the Center's architectural lighting systems.
Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Serve alternately as the Stage Manager, Rigger, and/or Audio Engineer for performances and special events on a day-to-day basis.
Operational Readiness: Ensure thorough technical preparation before and organized clean-up after all events to guarantee seamless transitions.
Maintenance and Documentation: Implement scheduled and necessary maintenance of technical systems, proactively suggest and implement technical improvements, and contribute to department-wide safety and efficiency by writing work instructions that codify agered-upon and safe house practices for all theatrical equipment.
Key Responsibilities: Service & Collaboration
This role is a central point of contact requiring excellent interpersonal and service-oriented skills:
Service-Oriented Collaboration: Collaborate effectively and professionally with a diverse array of internal departments, visiting artists, and campus partners to support a thriving performing arts center.
Client Relationship Management: Provide exceptional technical service, working closely with external clients (visiting artists and local groups) to facilitate the successful and safe presentation of live events.
Mentorship and Supervision: Hire, manage, train, schedule, and supervise a team of 7–13 student stagehands during the academic year (and 2 in the summer), including training and fostering a positive and safe working environment.
Teamwork: Work collaboratively with other Technical Services team members on the successful presentation of all live events and system upkeep.
