Deputy Technical & Production Manager

We are looking for a Deputy Technical & Production Manager to support in the efficient running of all aspects of the Production department, including leading the department in the manager’s absence.

The Watermill Theatre is a regional powerhouse in the world of theatre, producing around 7 shows every year for the stage in its beautiful, converted historic mill building in Berkshire. The theatre has an established track record for touring and transferring productions to the West End, across the UK and internationally.
The Watermill’s mission is to make theatre that is surprising, inventive and exciting and to enable access for everyone. A hallmark of its work is the artistry of actor-musicianship, in both new writing and reinvigorated classics. The theatre nurtures and celebrates talent and creativity in its company, community and in the wider sector and it holds wellbeing, equity and sustainability at the heart of its culture.
The theatre also runs the Riverside Restaurant and Bar from the beautifully converted 18th century barn, situated adjacent to the theatre. Our restaurant serves fresh, home cooked dishes for pre-theatre audiences as well as catering for special events including parties, wedding receptions, meetings and seminars.
The Deputy Technical & Production Manager will ensure that all technical equipment, facilities and Health and Safety aspects of the department are delivered to the highest quality. They will lead, manage and motivate the team and supervise the day to day running of the Watermill theatre, delivering a welcoming and professional venue for all visiting companies, creatives, performances and events.
