About Kunstmin

Kunstmin is the premier theater in Dordrecht and the Drechtsteden region.

As a theater technician specializing in audio, you are one of the driving forces behind the technical production of our programming and events.

We ask:

Experience mixing live performances.
A BMT certificate or a willingness to obtain one in the near future.
You handle a heavy workload well and work accurately and independently.
You take the initiative and feel right at home in a fast-paced organization.

What do we offer you?

A varied technical role in a dynamic organization where hospitality, craftsmanship, and teamwork are key. You’ll work in a team that offers opportunities for growth and encourages you to contribute ideas on new technical developments.

We offer:

Terms of employment in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement for Dutch Performing Arts Venues (scale 5).
A fixed shift differential.
A commuting allowance.
Opportunities for training, development, and specialization within the field.
