Description:

The Lead Scenic Carpenter shall serve as an integral member of Olney Theatre;s scenic team and should be proficient working on independent projects as well as working in conjunction with the Shop Foreman to provide assistance, mentorship, and/or leadership to other members of the team, including carpenters/overhires, apprentices, and the scenic artist. Olney+rsquo;s scenic team participates collaboratively in the fabrication, installation, and strike of all scenic elements for the 8+ shows Olney Theatre produces each year in multiple theatre spaces across our campus. Some larger prop builds may be asked of the Lead Carpenter as warranted. The bulk of the Lead Scenic Carpenter+rsquo;s activities will be focused on fabrication in the Olney Theatre scene shop, supervised by the Shop Foreman, though Olney Theatre+rsquo;s production endeavors are diverse and regularly include a variety of related activities as well. Essential skills include metal-working, wood-working, some plastic-working, and MIG welding. Rigging, cabinetry, specialty woodworking (such as turning), and foam carving experience are each a plus.
