This is a dynamic opportunity for someone who thrives in a creative and fast paced work environment. This person will contribute to the department by providing essential support for physical production and events as well as helping to maintain audio equipment and infrastructure.

Core responsibilities will include:

  • Work with the audio manager to install and strike sound systems for SoD productions
