Carpenters & Steel Fabricators – Theatre Set/Scenery Makers

Summary

Want to help build incredible theatre sets seen by thousands of people across the world? Think you’ve got practical skills, creativity, or a love of making things? Join the talented team at TR2 — Theatre Royal Plymouth’s workshop for building world-class stage sets.

More Details

At TR2, we create scenery that tours the UK and beyond. From large-scale stage builds to bespoke art and exhibition structures, every project is unique. Our construction team works mainly with wood and metal, but we also use all sorts of materials to bring designs to life — and our scenic artists give every build a stunning finish.

You don’t need to know everything on day one. If you’re practical, curious, enjoy learning new skills, and like solving problems, you’ll fit right in. No two builds are the same — it’s a job full of variety, creativity, and teamwork.

Creativity and collaboration are at the heart of what we do. You’ll work alongside makers, scenic artists, managers and designers — sharing ideas, solving problems together, and bringing bold artistic visions to life.

We welcome people from all backgrounds. Diversity makes our team stronger, and we value different experiences, perspectives and pathways into this work. If you’ve got enthusiasm, a good work ethic, and a willingness to learn, we’ll support you to grow.

Our pay system has four grades based on skills and experience, and we support everyone to train and progress. Whether you’re just starting out or have experience already, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re proud of the quality of our work — and we’ll help you reach high standards too.
