Service Technician at Malmö Opera

Do you have extensive experience in technical service work and a strong interest in performing arts? Are you also a responsive team player who enjoys varied tasks?

We are looking for a solution-oriented service technician for our lighting, sound, and stage departments – welcome with your application!

Malmö Opera is the heart and voice of music drama in Skåne. The building was inaugurated in 1944 and is centrally located in the Öresund region, just 20 minutes from Copenhagen. The stage is one of the largest in Europe, and the amphitheater-style auditorium accommodates 1500 visitors. We perform classical, modern, and newly written music drama. Malmö Opera has over 285 permanent employees and 500–700 engaged in productions each season. During a season, we produce over 300 performances for the main stage as well as for children's, youth, and touring activities.

We offer you employment in an inspiring environment where we work together to create optimal conditions for our audience to experience music theater in all its breadth. We believe that a diversity of skills creates the best conditions for Malmö Opera's work climate, creativity, and quality.

Job Description

As a service technician, you will support the lighting, sound, and stage technicians in both production and line work. You will be responsible for maintaining and repairing the technical equipment in the departments as needed. You will also be involved in the technical setup on stage and the installation of decor. We also believe that you possess a certain technical ingenuity and can come up with smaller special solutions for lighting and props.

Our technicians work multi-technically, which means that the lighting, sound, and stage departments work very closely together and sometimes cross boundaries. Malmö Opera performs in repertoire, which means you will be actively involved in several different productions simultaneously. Working hours are mainly during weekdays and daytime, but evening and weekend work may occur.

The position is organizationally part of the lighting department, but as a service technician, you will work directly with the lighting, sound, and stage departments. You will also have a lot of contact with the decor workshops. The lighting department consists of 10 employees and is part of Malmö Opera's technical section, which also includes sound, stage, and property departments, decor workshops, and the food and beverage department. The position reports directly to the head of lighting.

Qualifications

We are looking for an experienced service technician with relevant work experience. The position requires a high level of responsibility, accuracy, flexibility, and good planning skills. You have worked with troubleshooting and repair of mechatronics. You are used to planning, executing, and documenting projects both independently and with colleagues. Since you will have many contacts with different people, your communication skills are high, and you find it easy to collaborate with various personality types. Furthermore, you are solution-oriented and have good problem-solving skills.

To succeed in this position, the following is required:

• education in electrical, electronics, and/or mechanics, or professional experiences that we assess as adequate,
• documented work experience in troubleshooting and repair of mechatronics,
• a natural ingenuity and problem-solving ability,
• very good computer skills,
• good knowledge of Swedish and English in both spoken and written form,
• driver's license B.

It is an advantage if you have an electrical authorization. Knowledge in areas such as lighting, sound, video, and/or stage technology for performing arts is also beneficial but not required.

Employment Conditions

The position is a permanent full-time employment. We apply a six (6) month probationary period. Working hours may be scheduled for both daytime, evenings, and weekends.
