Job Description:

The AV&L Show Operator is responsible for the daily operation, pre-show preparation, preventive maintenance, and technical execution of integrated Audio, Video, Lighting (AV&L), and Show-Control systems. This role ensures smooth nightly show performances, supports external site events, supervises field operations assistants, and maintains high standards of technical reliability and site safety.

Key Responsibilities:

• Nightly Show Operations & Cue Execution
• Show Control: Operate multi-discipline systems (audio routing, video/media servers, projectors, architectural/moving lighting, DMX networks, timecode, and communications) per approved scripts, cues, and timelines.
• Live System Monitoring: Continuously monitor critical systems during rehearsals and live performances; respond swiftly to technical irregularities to preserve show quality and safety.
• Independent Execution: Step in to run the complete show independently or substitute for the Senior Operator as needed.
• Shutdown Protocols: Execute approved post-show system shutdown and securing procedures.
  
  
  

• System Verification: Perform and document daily pre-show inspections across all AV&L equipment, ensuring required files, presets, routing configurations, and backups are correctly loaded.
• Enclosure Supervision: Direct operations assistants during the opening and closing of moving-head, lighting, and projection enclosures, verifying proper timing, ventilation, drainage, and weatherization.
• Immediate Escalation: Report operational issues or safety hazards immediately and coordinate corrective actions with technical leads or suppliers.
  
  
  

• Routine Maintenance: Participate in daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic preventive maintenance schedules.
• Field Inspections: Regularly inspect hardware for faults, overheating, corrosion, dust/moisture ingress, damaged cables, or error codes.
• First-Level Troubleshooting: Identify signal flow issues, check connections, power-cycle systems safely, load contingent configurations, and swap basic peripherals without making unauthorized system changes.
• Vendor & Repair Support: Support specialist vendors during updates or repairs; test repaired equipment before re-integrating it into live production.
  
  
  

• System Logging: Maintain daily show logs, pre-/post-show checklists, incident reports, and hardware status updates (active faults, temporary workarounds, and pending maintenance).
• Alternate Team Leadership: Act as the on-duty team leader when assigned, directing systems technicians, power infrastructure technicians, and operations assistants prior to audience admission.
• Cross-Departmental Alignment: Communicate effectively with site operations, security, and production teams, providing detailed shift handovers until all outstanding issues are resolved.
  
  
  

• Event Facilitation: Serve as technical lead and backup operator for corporate functions, private events, VIP visits, and external productions outside regular show schedules.
• System Safeguarding: Ensure temporary event setups do not compromise the integrity, security, or safety of the primary show infrastructure.
• Post-Event Teardown & Reset: Supervise dismantling of temporary gear, restore original signal patching, settings, and show files, and perform full system test-runs before the next scheduled performance.
  
  
  

• Translation Support: Conduct operational checks on translation channels, audio routing, receivers, and charging stations.
• Safety & Standards: Maintain clean, organized technical areas, strictly observe site safety protocols, and stop any activity that poses a risk to personnel or equipment.
  
  
  

• 1-3 years of experience in Engineering, Media Technology, Sound/Lighting, IT/Networks, or related fields.
• Bachelor's Degree or Technical Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Communications, Computer Engineering, Media Technology, Theatre Technology, or a related field.
• Practical experience gained through live events, theatre operations, broadcast, AV integration, theme parks, or relevant university/freelance projects is highly desirable.
• Very good command of English, both spoken and written, to ensure clear communication in a technical and operational environment.
