• Condition of fixtures, equipment, tools and expendable inventory
• Shop space allocations and workflow optimization
• Time, personnel, and material resources
Then you head out to the theatre to get a handle on THAT mess.
Now fast forward through all the hard work. It's opening night and someone introduces you as "The one who makes the magic happen." It's a nice compliment, but you know that the "magic" is your skill, your experience, and your organization.
Barbizon needs that skill, experience, and organization. As a Barbizon Service Technician you'll:
• Provide excellent external and internal customer service
• Advise systems integrators on system design
