Sounds boring, doesn’t it?

 Actually…

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced road/field technician to move into a more stable environment and schedule with upward mobility that doesn’t involve 24 hour work days, getting sunburned on an outdoor festival site, pulling feeder, parking 2 miles away from a job site, or living out of a backpack (or maybe in a van down by the river).

 If terms like cheeseborough, feeder, XLR, mix riser, mic snake, moving head, stinger, truss, spanset and “Who is driving that truck?” have been a part of your vocabulary for a long time this position could be the next phase of your career.  You can leverage all the years of experience, knowledge, and long days in this industry to continue to be a key player in interesting and diverse productions. We even have a refrigerator, microwave, and a bathroom that doesn’t arrive late on the back of a flatbed.

 And as an added bonus you will participate in growing the largest tape ball in the production business!
