We are now looking for a team member with expertise in props and attribute making.

You will also be responsible, at times and in consultation with the artistic team, for planning and manufacturing attributes and decor for the theater's performances.

Since you work across several disciplines, it is important that you have a good ability to plan your work. As a person, you are structured, methodical, proactive, and ensure that work progresses. You have a good ability to work both independently and in a team and contribute new ideas and perspectives to situations that need to be solved. You enjoy working collectively with a high degree of personal responsibility. Valuing good relationships and collaboration is a given.

What can we offer you?
