JOB DESCRIPTION

Trainee Special Effects Technician

What you will be doing:

At Ignite sfx, we consider good time keeping and safety awareness to be of the upmost importance. A general knowledge and experience using basic hand tools is essential to the building/repair and operation of equipment. As this is a busy workshop environment, the ability to think on your feet, communicate well and adapt to the changing needs of the workshop will be required. You will be able to follow specific job tasks as they arise.
As the Trainee you will be assisting technicians with specific builds so you must be able to work as part of a team. You’ll be working with metal, welding, cutting and heavy lifting. You will be prepping workspaces ahead of time, so the space is safe to start work. You will also get the opportunity to contribute to the idea creation and execution of builds. Having an interest in other areas which require a hands-on approach is desirable.

See job Role attached for Criteria information.
