Depot Assistant
Description
Description
Depot assistants help keep the TIMARA Equipment depot clean and organized, they check gear out and check it back in. They make sure that kits that go out and kits that come back are fully functional and that all kit items are accounted for. They help ensure that gear is placed back in the correct location, and help wrap and organize cables. Depot assistants enter new gear into the checkout system, replace broken tags, identify broken gear, identify obsolete gear, and research and recommend potential replacements. Given that they have the time and the correct skill set, depot assistants may assist with minor equipment repairs.

Please only apply for this position if you can commit to being punctual consistently, and to attending or finding substitutes (and alerting the studio engineer) for any missed shifts.
