At TAFE NSW, you will discover a diverse, dynamic, and collaborative environment, where you can innovate, create value, and do meaningful work.

We provide you with tools and ongoing training and professional development, health and wellbeing programs, and flexible working options.

TAFE NSW has developed the delivery of Technical Live Production training in recent years with delivery in the Sydney region at Nirimba (Quakers Hill), Ultimo, Eora (Redfern) and Enmore campuses. Growth in delivery of these products and favourable employment outcomes for graduates has resulted in the need to expand our pool of teachers with current and high-level entertainment industry, live production lighting skills that embrace theatre, rock and corporate environments. The successful applicant would be based at Quakers Hill campus but participate in delivery at the other metropolitan centres on a regular basis.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate advanced skills in entertainment lighting, including lighting control systems across multiple platforms, lighting rigging, networks and system configuration. You will also have sound knowledge of vision and audio systems, live production technologies and industry business practices, with experience working at a level consistent with professional live entertainment environments.

Lighting design experience is desirable but not essential.

We would love to hear from you if you can meet the following essential requirements:

1. Hold a Diploma level or higher qualification in Live Production, from a recognised education provider.
2. Have a minimum of five years post-qualification industry experience relevant to your qualifications, gained no longer than five years previously.
3. Hold evidence of the required teaching qualification to deliver Vocational Education and Training (VET). See the candidate support document here for details.
