Our mission is to ensure that producers, productions, and audiences everywhere enjoy uninterrupted performances day or night, experience after experience.
The work we do is challenging and deadline based, but it is rewarding and satisfying when you get to see the curtain rise or hear the roar of a crowd. Yet, that is not all there is to life and that is why we offer competitive salaries and benefits, retirement savings plans with company contributions, personal wellbeing support with paid sick days, vacation, and personal time off, and a flexible work environment.
We are a team, but we feel more like a family. We pull together, we have each other’s backs, we challenge one another, we enjoy each other’s company and support one another when needed. We sail, run, cycle, scuba dive, play hockey, camp, travel, canoe, kayak, fish, craft, build, weld, invent, restore, and ride bikes. We are progressive, inclusive, creative, mothers, fathers, fosters, fur-parents, and grandparents.
If you think you are up for the challenge and want to join our diverse group of engineers, software developers, technicians, project managers, and administrators, we want to hear from you!
