Stage Technician (m/f/d) for a touring theater company

The Department of Culture of the District of Lower Bavaria is seeking a staff member in the field of stage technology for the KULTURmobil touring theater. The new staff member will be introduced to the work processes during this year’s tour (which includes several guest performances) and will then be more fully integrated into the project next year.

The position is for up to six guest performances on weekends between August 21 and August 30. We are explicitly seeking to integrate the employee into the project on a permanent, annual basis.

KULTURmobil is a mobile theater project that has been organized by the Cultural Affairs Department of the District of Lower Bavaria since 1998. After rehearsals, the team tours all the counties of Lower Bavaria with the stage truck from early June through late August, giving a total of 30 guest performances from Friday through Sunday in public squares or municipal halls.

Duties

• Assisting with the setup, reconfiguration, and takedown of the truck stage and set pieces before, during, and after performances

• Transportation, storage, and disposal of set pieces

• Minor repairs and maintenance of set pieces as needed

Pay is based on the TVöD pay scale according to personal qualifications. In addition, travel expenses will be reimbursed during the tour, and lodging will be provided as needed.

Please submit application materials and direct any inquiries by July 24, 2026.

Requirements

• Sense of responsibility, reliability, and the ability to work well in a team

• Commitment and physical stamina

• Willingness to work on weekends and holidays as well as irregular hours

• Unrestricted willingness to travel: Due to the varying locations in rural areas—which are difficult or impossible to reach by public transportation—travel by car is required

• Since the position is based in Landshut and Lower Bavaria, it is preferred that the employee reside in Bavaria

• Technical skills: Completed vocational training or work experience as an event technician or in a woodworking or metalworking trade is preferred

• An old Class 3 driver’s license or a new Class C1E driver’s license is preferred
