WMCA is hiring a Technical Director…
…to lead the safe, professional technical delivery of live events at our multi-use performing arts venue.
What you’ll do
Advance performances and rentals; translate technical requirements into staffing and execution plans
Supervise our Full-Time Senior Theatre Technician and coordinate a casual, event-by-event non-union crew
Lead load-ins/outs, rehearsals, performances, and changeovers
Maintain venue technical standards and oversee system readiness (lighting/audio/video/rigging/stage operations)
Champion safety, training, and effective supervision consistent with Manitoba workplace safety expectations
Hands-on + Growth: As a small institution, you’ll sometimes be hands-on operating or providing technician support. Our goal is to grow toward a model where the Technical Director primarily leads/oversees, with operators (including the Senior Tech and casual crew) delivering the show under your direction.
What you bring
3–5+ years’ live event/technical theatre experience with leadership responsibilities
Strong technical depth in at least one discipline and working knowledge across others
Calm problem-solving under pressure, excellent communication, and safety-first mindset
