- Inspect equipment for visible damage and report safety concerns before use.
- Maintain clear walkways, secure work areas, and follow venue and production safety procedures.
- Do not perform electrical or specialized rigging work unless qualified and specifically assigned.
Qualifications:
- Previous grip, lighting-support, stagehand, or production-equipment experience.
- Practical knowledge of common grip tools, stands, flags, modifiers, rigging hardware, and safe set practices.
- Ability to follow technical directions, communicate clearly, and work cooperatively under time constraints.
- Ability to safely handle common grip equipment and physical production tasks, with reasonable accommodations where applicable.
- Reliable transportation to assigned project locations and appropriate work attire and footwear.
- Two professional references and any applicable safety, lift, rigging, or equipment certifications.
Opportunities are project-based and offered as production needs arise. Applying does not guarantee acceptance or assignments. Submit your resume, relevant work samples or credits, the locations where you are willing to work, and two professional references with phone numbers and email addresses. You may also provide your standard rates, equipment details, certifications, and other relevant information.
