About this operator
The Professional Junior Stage Lighting Operator handles basic lighting console operation, follow spot duties, and lighting setup assistance for events and productions. Junior lighting operators work under senior operator direction for complex productions, or handle basic lighting needs for simpler events. This role is ideal for events requiring basic lighting operation, follow spot coverage for performers, or additional lighting setup hands for larger installations.
This is our basic tier - trained for standard event lighting setups and routine cue operation. We do not position this operator as a senior professional or industry expert. For serious commercial work please book our senior tier in this role, and for arena tours, festival headliners, or theatrical productions for the global stage please engage an independent industry specialist directly.
