Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.
The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building.

Our stage technicians participate in all technical work necessary for a production from pre-production to stores/workshops, to Build Area, rehearsal rooms and stage, and back to stores.
What you’ll bring:
Our ideal candidate will be a team player who can demonstrate:
- Good level of technical Stage skills experience in producing theatre.
- Demonstrable qualifications and/or training in rigging and scenic construction.
- An understanding of working with automated systems including flying and elevator systems an advantage.
- Commitment to safe working practices including CDM2015.
