Description
Supervises employees engaged in construction in a workshop and operations of a production on stage. Employees may have responsibility for the management and/or maintenance of an inventory of theatrical specialty goods. Fabricate, construct, purchase, assemble and otherwise prepare scenery, scenic art, properties, costumes, stage lighting, theatrical sound, theatrical video effects, or wigs and makeup as assigned by the technical theatre manager, in accordance with designer's specifications and manager's cost estimates. Gives advice and instruction on techniques to assigned staff. Assist with the training of student assistants on specific tasks in the practical aspects of construction and theatrical practice. Advise student designers on the process of realizing their designs. Assure safe work practices and compliance with safety regulations. Incumbents at this level 'lead and direct' a group of three or more individuals. There is virtually no authority for personnel actions normally associated with full supervisory status (e.g., salary increases, promotions, performance reviews, disciplinary actions). Coordinates the day-to-day operations of a group of employees. 'Leading and directing' is usually restricted to assigning, monitoring and reviewing progress and accuracy of work, directing efforts and providing technical guidance on more complex issues. Most of the work time is spent performing many of the same duties as subordinate employees. Under FLSA, incumbents in this position are nonexempt.
