**Deputy Head of Electrics**

**ATG Entertainment is proud to stand at the forefront of the live entertainment industry.**

Our expertise and capabilities enable producers and other creatives to bring their visions to life and create unforgettable performances for audiences, presented in our landmark venues and delivered with exceptional hospitality. It is the passion of our teams, that cover every discipline across the live entertainment industry, that underpins our continuing strategic growth and success.

**The Ambassadors Theatre** is a beautifully intimate playhouse, turning over shows on average every three months, we welcome a fantastic variety of productions from comedy to world premieres of plays starring A-list celebrities. Originally built in 1913, Ambassadors Theatre is one of the few venues to survive two World Wars undamaged and keep its doors open. The theatre first opened on 5th June 1913 with Panthea, a play by Monckton Hoffe which ran for only 15 nights. Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap originally opened here on 25th November 1952 and played for 21 years until 1973 when it transferred next door to St Martin’s Theatre, where it has since become the world’s longest running play. In 2007 the theatre became home to the world-famous production of Stomp for 11 years, the venue's second longest running show.

People are at the heart of our success. We are passionate about bringing great live experiences to the widest possible audience; about giving the world’s best creative talent the stage it deserves; and about providing our people and partners with opportunities to realise their full potential.

**The Deputy Head of Electrics Role**

The Deputy Head of Electrics role will assist the Heads of Department and Technical & Buildings Manager with the day to day running of the theatre from a technical perspective. You will assist with the get ins, fit ups and get outs of new productions and visiting events, as well as assisting with the maintenance and upkeep of the theatre.

Whilst the role of Deputy Head of Electrics supports the Head of Electrics, there may be opportunities and occasions when you will be required to support other areas of operation, including stage, maintenance and facilities for example. In these circumstances, staff would only be asked to carry out a function they were trained to do or capable of undertaking, and this would be requested for ad-hoc shifts/situations, or part of a shift only. This excludes exceptional circumstances, when all staff need to demonstrate flexibility in making sure productions and operations can function as needed.

You will be working in a fast-paced environment, with no two days the same. There will be opportunities to support work across our West End estate of theatres, working with various productions to ensure a smooth production period. This role involves regular evening and weekend work.
