Experienced Theater Technician

As a Theater Technician at the Concertgebouw, you’ll work at one of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, a place where every day brings something new. With your expertise in lighting, sound, and video, you’ll join your colleagues in the Operations Department in helping to create the sublime experience that the Concertgebouw offers its guests.

About Het Concertgebouw

The Concertgebouw is one of the most visited concert halls in the world, hosting more than 700 concerts and welcoming over 730,000 visitors each year. The acoustics of our halls are world-renowned; nowhere else does classical music sound more beautiful. But we offer much more than just classical music: you can also hear pop, video game music, jazz, film scores, hip-hop, and much more. With this diverse program, we are reaching an increasingly diverse audience—one of our key priorities for the coming years.

We are 95% responsible for our own revenue. With an enthusiastic, close-knit, and friendly team, we create unforgettable experiences for our visitors.

Who are you?

You have sufficient technical expertise to work independently in the areas of lighting, sound, hoisting/rigging, and AV technology. Knowledge of lighting using sACN is a plus, but not a requirement. You also have sufficient knowledge to troubleshoot minor malfunctions and/or perform repairs on the technical systems in our building.

In addition:

• Do you have strong communication skills? If you also have intercultural communication skills, that’s a plus;
• Can you keep a cool head during busy periods?
• Is customer service second nature to you;
• Do you have a first aid certification, or are you willing to obtain one?

No two people are alike! The Concertgebouw strives to be an organization where everyone feels welcome and safe—where employees can be themselves and are given the freedom and recognition they need to contribute to our mission in their own way:

The Concertgebouw brings together a diverse audience and enriches their lives with a sublime musical experience

That’s why we’re curious to find out who you are!
