Job Description

Salary:

Load In/Load Out/Carpenter Crew

Job Overview:

Starting Arts runs about 45 shows a year - 75% of them are Cafeteria shows in elementary-middle school cafeterias (simplified set and tech elements), 25% of them are In-House productions that are performed in professional theater venues (intense set and tech design). Starting Arts is a youth theatre company, so you will mostly be loading in and out of schools and potentially interacting with children.

The Load In/Load Out/Carpenter Crew member is responsible for moving technical equipment, set, costumes, and props in and out of a venue, and constructing the set when required. This position involves working closely with the Production Manager and Technical Director.

Key Responsibilities:

Load-in and Load-out Help:

  • Move items from our storage into the truck and vice versa.
  • Assist with the arrangement of technical needs, including lighting, sound, scenic elements during the move into the theatre.
  • Drive the 16 or 20 truck when needed.

Carpentry/Construction:

  • For Cafeteria shows:
    • Put together the set pieces (jacks on flats, flats on skids, etc.)
    • Build a stage extension if needed (putting legs on platforms, clamping/screwing platforms together)
    • Assemble pipe and drape as needed to create wings, curtains, exits, etc.
  • For In-House shows:
  • Assist with constructing a bespoke set (using drills, saws, sanding, painting, etc.)

Qualifications:

  • Experience:
    Previous experience in theater production, stage operations, event set up, or construction is preferred.
  • Skills:
    • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot technical issues in real time.
    • Knowledge of theater safety protocols and equipment handling.
    • Knowledge of construction tools and building practices.
    • Ability to drive a 16 or 20 truck (no special license/insurance required, just bravery!).
    • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a strong attention to detail.
  • Physical Requirements:
    Must be able to lift heavy equipment (up to 50 lbs), climb ladders, and work in various physical conditions (including above stage level or in confined spaces).
  • Hours:
    Must be available Monday mornings (typical Load Ins) and Friday nights (typical Load Outs), as well as some weekends, holidays, or other Load In/Load Out times as needed by the productions.
  • Locations:
    Starting Arts productions are held in a variety of venues, from cafeterias to large theaters, across the South Bay (from Los Altos to Almaden/South San Jose). Our storage and truck are located near San Jose Fairgrounds.

Work Environment:

  • The position requires the ability to work in dimly lit and noisy environments.
  • Must be comfortable working at heights and in small or confined spaces.
  • May be required to stand for long periods of time, sit, crouch, kneel and crawl.
  • Ability to work as part of a team and independently when needed.
