Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre
Senior Production Technician (Lighting)
BREC is looking for a skilled Senior Tech (Lighting) to join our committed team and help create unforgettable experiences for our community.
About You & the Role
You bring strong lighting expertise and hands-on experience in busy performing arts environments. You’re confident working autonomously when required and supporting junior staff and casual crew with practical leadership and clear communication.
You stay calm under pressure, think ahead, and work collaboratively to solve problems. You’ll work closely with the Technical Manager and the rest of the team to deliver safe, efficient productions and events, and maintain BREC’s equipment and facilities to a high standard.
As a senior member of the team, you contribute to developing shared systems, efficient workflows, and a culture of continuous learning.
BREC Values Evolve and thrive. Champion Respect. Together.
About Us
The Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre (BREC) is a much-loved, multi-award-winning performing arts and conference venue that has been bringing people together in Bunbury and the South West since 1990. We are an independent not-for-profit association supported by the City of Bunbury, with a focus on people, impact, and exceptional experiences. Our venue includes a 790-seat auditorium, a 242-seat studio theatre, and flexible event spaces hosting everything from live performance and film to conferences and community programs.
We’re big enough to host major productions, curate film festivals, and occasionally produce new work, yet small enough that every technician gets to stretch their skills, take ownership, and try something new. If you value variety, autonomy, and a workplace where your contribution counts, BREC is a place where your work has real impact.
Our purpose is simple. We bring people together to share exceptional experiences. Add a supportive team and the South West lifestyle – beaches, forests, and great local food – and you’ve got a workplace that’s hard to beat. We’re committed to being a diverse and culturally safe workplace and warmly encourage applications from First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ people, and people living with disability.
Team Objectives
The Technical Services Team of four (plus casuals) delivers BREC’s year-round program of performances, film festivals, conferences, and community events. Multi-skilled across lighting, sound, AV, and staging, the team ensures every event is delivered safely, professionally, and to a high technical standard.
We support BREC’s strategic priorities – First Nations Front and Centre, Welcome Everyone, Grow Creative Capacity, and Future Proof BREC – through well-maintained infrastructure, responsive technical services, and a commitment to supporting touring productions, local artists, and community-led activity.
Through strong collaboration with artists, clients, schools, community groups, and other stakeholders, the team plays a vital role in shaping BREC’s reputation and contributing to Bunbury’s creative and economic life.
