About the role

Sight & Sound is seeking an Automation & Effects Designer to research, develop, install, program, and maintain show control systems for theatre productions. You will design and implement effects for new and existing shows, and work to troubleshoot and repair systems to ensure flawless performances. The role requires strong electrical and electronic skills, experience with control systems, and flexibility to work shows and rehearsals as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
