Your areas of responsibility include, among others: - Preliminary discussions with external groups: You advise them on technical, aesthetic, and organizational matters. - Equipment management: You rent equipment, coordinate the backline, keep an overview of consumables and our equipment, and ensure that materials are available. - You independently carry out minor repairs. - You are a contact person and intermediary for the tech team: You organize the monthly tech team meeting and pass on concerns to other meetings. - You plan shifts together with the programming group and estimate time requirements. - Clarification of technical riders for concerts, theater productions, performances, etc. Requirements include several years of work experience in the event sector, calmness in everyday work, confidence in your own abilities as well as in those of others, good knowledge of audio engineering (including system technology), and advanced knowledge of lighting technology (Chamsys, theater and concert lighting). Qualifications in rigging (SHRV) and ideally a lifting platform license round out your profile. A driver’s license is an advantage, but not mandatory. The position is advertised in two variants/options, with an additional workload of 20% front-of-house shifts expected for both options. The above-mentioned requirements apply to both options, with option 2 also allowing for the active learning of individual skills. **Option 1** comprises a workload of 40% for administrative and preparatory technical tasks. In this role, you take on the technical preparation for all events at the Zentralwäscherei. Together with the front-of-house shifts, this results in a total workload of 60% paid annual working time. **Option 2** comprises an initial workload of 20% and is carried out in tandem with Hannah Dal Cero, who held the position for the past one and a half years and knows the association and the building well. After a transition phase of 6 months, the position is taken over at 40%. In combination with the front-of-house shifts, this results in a total workload of initially 40% and after 6 months 60% annual working time. We offer a diverse working environment in a collectively organized association with flat hierarchies. You have the opportunity to actively help shape our technical infrastructure and support creative projects. Active participation in the association is part of our culture; depending on capacity, we also get involved in other bodies. We pay a transparent standard wage of 25 Swiss francs net per hour, including a night surcharge of 10%. For shifts longer than six hours, we provide discounted meals, and you receive additional discounts on site. You can expect a broad spectrum of events that offers variety and room for creative development. Working hours are set by agreement and are oriented around the events. The place of work is the Zentralwäscherei at Neue Hard 12 in 8005 Zurich, and the contract is arranged individually. Diversity is important to us, and we would particularly like to encourage people from underrepresented social groups to apply. Please send your complete application documents until 25h of December as a single PDF document by the specified date to **bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space**. We look forward to getting to know you. :
