Job description

OVERVIEW

 

Although a stagehand's daily duties and responsibilities will vary depending on event, below is a set of core tasks that are generally expected.  Your supervisor may require additional duties.  

 

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

     

Set Management

 

One of the most common tasks of a stagehand involves managing the set. Depending who is performing - such as a theatre company or a band - the stagehand needs to know exactly what set equipment the performers need and where to place it on the stage. In between sets, the stagehand is responsible for making adjustments to the sets, as well as breaking down the equipment after the show.

 

Sound Assistance

 

Although there may be sound technicians in charge of the sound, stagehands typically assist as needed. For example, they ensure that equipment is plugged into the correct sources, help set up monitors, and assist the sound manager with sound levels.

 

Lighting

 

Assembling support structures, attaching lights, running electrical cords, and adjusting the lights as needed are all core tasks for a stagehand. Although large productions may have a lighting manager, for smaller productions, a stagehand may be solely responsible for the lighting.

 

Assisting Performers

 

Performers may need assistance with receiving their costumes or changing into difficult costume pieces. They may also need stagehands to bring them special props or track down other items they need.

 

Signage

 

Signage is an important part of any production, and a stagehand is often tasked with this responsibility. Stagehands hang banners, update marquees, and handle other signage within a venue.

 

Waste Removal

 

As part of stage maintenance, the stagehand may need to remove any trash in waste containers as well as sweep the stage floor in between shows. 

 

Working Environment

 

The usual and customary methods of performing the job's functions require the following physical demands:

 

  • lifting, carrying, pushing, and/or pulling

  • climbing and balancing

  • stooping, kneeling, crouching, and/or crawling

  • and significant fine finger dexterity

 

Generally, the job requires 20% sitting, 40% walking, and 40% standing.  One may be exposed to dust and other allergens present in a typical construction and/or performing arts build site. Additionally one will be exposed to various lighting conditions, including darkened walkways and stairwells.
Education/Experience

 

High School Diploma or GED Equivalent.

 

Work Schedule

 

12 Month position
Must be able to work a flexible schedule including evenings and weekends when needed

 

Pay

 

$12.48 /hr - $16.72/hr D.O.E.
