Preparing gallery spaces, including painting, patching and basic exhibition construction.
Installing lighting, audio‑visual equipment and exhibition displays.
Working closely with artists, curators and the wider team to deliver high‑quality exhibitions.

Experience installing exhibitions in galleries, museums or similar creative spaces.
Knowledge of professional artwork handling and conservation practices.
Experience using hand and power tools, with robust practical skills.
Great communication, organisation and teamwork skills.

A current Class C Driver Licence.

It would be great if you have experience with gallery lighting, audio‑visual equipment, carpentry, electrical work or design software, but these aren't essential.
