We're looking for you

ITA’s Stage Technology department is a large, professional and very experienced team of technical specialists and crew. We work on our own productions and for companies performing at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam.

As an All-round Stage Technician / Fly System Operator, you prepare performances in the areas of rigging, hoisting and scene changes. You play a key role in both the artistic execution and the safety on stage. You review the hanging plot and come up with solutions for sometimes complex fly system movements. You help build and install our own productions as well as those of visiting companies.

When a malfunction happens, you stay calm and keep communication clear. You find solutions quickly and with care. You also identify and report problems with the fly system or its control software.

Besides operating, you help with set-ups in the auditoriums, studios and foyers. You also support colleagues from the other disciplines that come together on stage, such as lighting, sound and video.
 

We’re looking for someone who:

holds a VBT-B certificate, or is willing to obtain one within an agreed period
has knowledge of the TNM control system (an advantage, not a requirement)
works safely and actively contributes to a safe working environment
is available to work irregular hours, such as evenings and weekends

Not sure you meet every requirement? Apply anyway. We’re curious to hear your story.
 

We want to assess everyone fairly and equally. That’s why we select on competencies, to keep the influence of unconscious bias as small as possible. All candidates for this role answer the same competency question using the STARR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result, Reflection). 

The question:

Describe a situation during a technical production where you had to solve a problem under time pressure. What was your role, what steps did you take, and what was the result?
