Electrician (Summer Seasonal)
DESCRIPTION
The Glimmerglass Festival seeks Electricians for its 2025 Summer Festival Season.
The Electrician works as a member of a 16 person Electrics and Lighting multi-departmental team; they report to the Production Electrician, and work alongside Assistant Production Electricians, other Electrics Staff, and Electrics Apprentices. The primary goals of the position will include assisting in the preparation, install, circuiting, and focus of a large repertory light plot; performing daily changeovers; running assigned productions; and striking the plot at the conclusion of the season. Much of the work this position performs routinely is at height, on ladders, or in lifts; involves lifting equipment to elevated positions; and may require occasional use of power tools for custom projects. A successful candidate will have experience in either stage lighting equipment, or a general electrical background. A team oriented attitude as well as an ability to participate in a positive work environment is required. Some projects will be worked on independently, while other projects will require working in a group setting. The responsibilities of this position require the employee to be physically present on campus to complete the tasks assigned. This position has offices or workspaces that require the employee to climb flights of stairs or ladders. Additional training and workshops may be provided during the season. This is a seasonal position; employees that work well within the team are often asked to return for subsequent seasons. Commitment to safe work habits and shop practices is essential. Must be willing to abide by Glimmerglass Festival’s current and potential future health and wellness policies.
This position runs May 12 to August 24, 2025. $16.10/Hr. Housing provided.
The hiring process is highly competitive; some positions are filled as early as January. Early applications are encouraged.
