**Job Summary**

We are looking for an experienced, passionate and creative individual to join our team.

The assistant lighting designer may also, at the discretion of the lighting designer, assist with design, focus, organization of work, and in some cases the creation of a light plot. ALD’s are expected to be flexible and willing to assist with any special projects that may arise during their tenure. You will be working closely with the CEO, Project Managers and Clients.

**Essential Job Functions**
- Familiarize yourself with the script for the productions that you are assigned to.
- Consult the company-wide production calendar and note all due dates. It is important to meet these dates because it affects the work of so many other people.
- Attend all design and production meetings with the lighting designer and sometimes on behalf of the lighting designer.
- Learn and use Lightwright to keep track of all paperwork created/needed as part of the lighting design.
- Learn and use Vectorworks to develop a copy of the light plot.
- Learn and develop programming skills such as patching, blind cue updates, programming of moving lights, etc.
- Assist the lighting designer in establishing priorities for the master electrician and electricians in consultation with technical directors, when applicable.
- 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.
- Assist in managing the lighting crew during work calls.
- Inspect electric areas and double-check the hang, cable, and focus for work safety.
- Assist in leading the electricians at focus.

- 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. This includes the strike of the cyc, scrim, and other masking.
