As an Art Technician, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the smooth installation and maintenance of artwork in our prestigious London galleries. Your role will also involve occasional travel and weekend work, with competitive compensation for your time.

Job Responsibilities:

• Hanging artwork using a variety of installation methods on different wall compositions.
• Handling all artwork with extreme care, ensuring safe and secure installations.
• Packing and unpacking artwork for shipping, including the use of custom crates.
• Managing and maintaining artwork stock, ensuring accurate records.
• Administering artwork through our internal database (training provided).
