**Essential Job Functions**
- Familiarize yourself with the script for the productions that you are assigned to.

- Assist in the discussion and writing of the concept statement and cue synopsis, when applicable.
- Keep track of expendable inventories such as gels, lamps, etc. Note that you are not authorized to purchase anything. In the case that expendables need to be purchased, this should be done through the Account Manager or CEO in consultation with the lighting designer.

- Facilitate making sure all lighting work areas including catwalks, storage rooms, backstage, and public areas are cleared, clean, and safe before rehearsals and performances.
- Perform dimmer check prior to each performance as needed.
- Meet with the technical director and lighting designer to discuss strike. The requirements for each strike will vary based on the nature of the show and any production needs following the production being struck. The first order of any strike should be clearing any practicals or other instruments on stage so that the carpenters may complete their strike quickly and efficiently.
