• Event Support: Serve as the primary facilities contact during performances and rehearsals. Manage lobby lighting, monitor HVAC systems, and respond to real-time facility needs to ensure optimal comfort and readiness.
• Facility Maintenance: Conduct routine walk-throughs to identify and address safety, maintenance, and appearance issues. Perform basic exterior upkeep, including trash removal and grounds touch-ups.
