Job description

The Center for Performing Arts & Education facility is looking for
theater technicians to help run events for the Dublin Unified
School District, City of Dublin, and outside rentals. All experience
ranges are welcome. We are a learning facility for students and
technicians who want more experience with sophisticated equipment. The
position is called an AT WILL/ON CALL technician. This means that we post
the schedule of events and open slots for people to sign up when they can work
through our Humanity shift planning app. It's a very balanced system, and
due to other freelancing jobs, it is incredibly flexible. The rate of pay is
determined after a brief interview with the Theater Manager on technical
skill sets and general knowledge of being a theater technician ($20 - $30
per hour).

Our facility is eight years old. Our lighting console is the ETC GIO @5
with ETC LED colorsource cyc, ETC LED colorsource pars as
back and down light, ETC LED Lustr+ (2 & 3), front light and specials, ETC LED
colorsource spots for high sides. We have two Martin Viper Profiles on our
first electric (motorized), two on our fourth electric, two Martin Axiom Hybrids on the black truss in the house, and two LED Vari-lite VLZ profiles on the truss over the house. We also have an old ION, Nomad, and Puck from ETC as portable design consoles.

Our main sound console is a Yamaha CL5, but we also have Midas M32 and M32r digital mixers. We use QLAB, Arkaos Media Master Pro, Resolume, Showcontroller, Beyond, and Madmapper, for sound, projections, and Kavant laser. We have two projectors; Christie 7500 lumen lamp-based and Epson 15,000 lumen laser.

We have an intercom everywhere and a Clear-Com FreeSpeak II wireless system for employees only (Agent IQ mobile).
Our microphones range from EarthWorks, Shure, Sennheiser, Rode, Audix, and
more. We have 40 wireless body packs for our big musicals (Shure ULXD, Sennheiser G3, & Audio Technica).

The space is equipped with a full fly rail and motorized orchestra lift.

We have done ZFX/FOY flying in the venue three times, and one was automated so
the actor could walk along the wall and upside down across the proscenium (Mary Poppins).

The space is constantly evolving, and we are looking for a few good
technicians to help us progress further.
