Lighting Maintenance Electrician

Reports To :  Lighting Supervisor

Status :  Full Time, Hourly

Pay Range :  $25-$28 Hourly based on experience.

Overview

Hale Centre Theatre is seeking an experienced Lighting Maintenance Electrician to take ownership of the daily upkeep and long term reliability of our advanced theatrical lighting systems. This is not an entry level position, it’s a pivotal, hands on role for someone who knows their way around moving lights, atmospherics, dimmers, and LEDs, and who takes pride in keeping every fixture running like new.

In this role, you’ll be the point person for diagnosing issues, executing repairs, and ensuring system integrity across multiple productions. You’ll work in a venue where intelligent lighting, video, and automation are fully integrated, and where speed, precision, and consistency are essential. You’ll collaborate closely with a talented lighting team and report to the Lighting Supervisor, playing a key part in both day to day operations and long range planning.

Our ideal candidate has experience in professional, technically complex environments, such as large regional theaters, Cirque du Soleil–style productions, or theme park entertainment. You’re methodical, safety conscious, fluent in lighting systems, and thrive under the pressure of show schedules and high expectations. If you enjoy taking equipment apart, fixing problems before they surface, and being the person everyone relies on to keep the system running smoothly, this role is for you.
