Crew Chief
The glue of the utility team — ensures every utility knows their tasks, keeps the crew moving through load-in and load-out, and interfaces directly with department leads and production management.
The Crew Chief is the glue of the utility team. They ensure every utility knows their tasks, keep the crew moving as a cohesive unit through load-in and load-out, enforce safety practices, manage breaks, and handle on-site managerial duties. The crew chief interfaces directly with department leads and production management, translating the production's needs into clear, executable tasks for the utility crew — and making sure those tasks get done on time and to spec.
Crew chiefs also coordinate staging elements — riser and deck builds, pipe and drape, truss ground support — and interface with venue labor, house crews, and department leads. For complex scenic, custom fabrication, or large-format structural builds, we coordinate with your production's scenic vendor as part of the overall crew plan.
