The Opportunity

The Confederation Centre of the Arts is looking for an Assistant Technical Director to be the technical point person for our off-season rental program and a key support to our summer repertory season.

Our theatre season has two parts: the summer Charlottetown Festival, and a calendar of rental productions, presented companies and events.

As the first technical contact for visiting companies and rental clients, you’ll advance their shows, solve problems early, and make sure every production is safe and well-supported. In summer, you’ll work alongside the Technical Director to keep a busy repertory schedule running smoothly, and you’ll support other events and programming as needed.

Your Focus:

Rental season

- Act as the main technical contact for rental clients and presented companies.
- Advance all technical requirements for incoming shows.
- Assess riders, drawings and schedules for feasibility and flag conflicts early.
- Coordinate crewing, schedules and logistics with Production and other CCOA departments.
- Prepare advance documentation and support labour estimates and rental quotes.
- Act as on-site technical representative for rental clients, including conducting facility and safety orientations.

Summer repertory
- Assist the Technical Director with coordination of the repertory season.
- Support stage operations including lx, audio, props, wardrobe, set builds, including assisting with construction drawings.
- Contribute technical solutions during design and production meetings.

Safety and equipment




- Promote safe work practices and help ensure crews and clients follow theatre policies.
- Assist with equipment maintenance, inventories, and routine space inspections.
- Assist in the development of safety programs or procedures related to stage operations.

About the Centre

The Confederation Centre is Canada’s National Memorial to the founders of the country. It is the result of a dream shared by all Canadians – a place where Canada’s evolution and multicultural character is celebrated and explored right where Canadian confederation began; where the talents of Canadian people are nurtured and showcased through arts, learning, and conversation. Taking up a full city block in downtown Charlottetown, the Centre includes performance venues, art gallery spaces, arts education and learning studios, and spaces for convening and conversation.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

The capital city of PEI is the birthplace of Canadian confederation, and the Confederation Centre of the Arts is Canada’s national memorial to those who met here in 1864 and proposed a union that would result in a current country three years later. Charlottetown is a beautiful place to live and work. It has a thriving cultural community with numerous attractions including arts, recreation, restaurants, parks, and the harbour. Charlottetown is home to the University of Prince Edward Island and Holland College, and welcomes roughly 1.5 million tourists every summer. Minutes away are some of the best beaches, golf courses, and natural attractions that Canada has to offer.
