I bring these skills to bear in project managing the automation requirements for my allocated shows, touring shows or live broadcasts at the RSC.I have a wide depth of knowledge in differing control systems in live performance and have worked extensively with TAIT Stage Technologies and also Trekwerk control. I take the lead role for Automation during the fit up and get out process and am well versed in the health and safety legislation for performance including LOLER, PUWER and the machinery directive
