Work with us - We're recruiting for an Engineer.
On account of achieving a full yearly diary for JP, Prestige is on the lookout for a 2nd Engineer to join our team to run a 2nd system.
Responsibilities
• Providing to local venues and/or Travelling to shows across the country
• Setting up a PA consisting of 2 or 4 Subs and 2 or 4 12” Tops
• Setting up and managing a Digital Desk and stage box (Presonus systems)
• Mic’ing a full band
• Line checking, Sound checking, Mixing the show
• Handling microphones and cabling
• Diagnosing digital and analog routing problems as they occur
• Managing IEM and Wedge monitoring
• Producing an energetic, punchy, vibey, enjoyable and consistent FOH mix for the client across runs of shows
• Liaising with the band and the show runner.
• Attending a rehearsal with a new client to set up their Mixer and IEM profile and to capture a few songs to develop their show profile.
• Sharing the company’s message and identifying opportunities when you see them (which helps you fill your diary!)
The position is open to both male and female professionals. Be aware that Driving and heavy lifting will be required when loading in, loading out and setting up and you’ll be working on your own (apart from the musicians of course!). Although this sounds a lot, just check out the venues and the stages we're doing weekly on our Facebook page. We're not exactly rolling boxes in and out for hours! It's a small footprint PA. It's not large concerts with day before load ins and early morning de-rigs. We arrive and leave with the musicians.
We’re looking for motivated, friendly, talented and knowledgeable engineers who understand their craft, have a professional attitude and a passion for production sound. Our USP is an emphasis on mixing a colourful FOH mix, similar to how we’d produce a record in the studio. We want to work with someone who is immersed in the music world and will immerse themselves with their colleagues in the band and develop their FOH sound, similar to how a musician will learn their parts, to provide a stellar listening experience for the client’s audience.
Prestige is run by a professional Audio Engineer, musician, educator and theatre show owner who works consistently as all four and has the honour of working alongside some incredible music professionals on a weekly basis. As such, Prestige isn’t any old ‘hire and engineer’ company - it’s much more personal and aims to be much more integrated into the shows and people we work with.
We value providing work to Audio Engineering and Sound Engineering graduates so we’re particularly interested in hearing from educated music professionals motivated to make a full time living in music.
The ideal profile of applicant would be an engineer who produces music during the week, teaches music or audio engineering, and can dedicate their weekends to shows. Engineers with experience as a gigging musician will help greatly.
Our goal will be to have you working, consistently, most weekends of the year in theatres across the country, travelling with the band / show. Our current engineer has 90 dates booked with our first system. Prestige is available for local events such as small festivals, fetes, community activities, etc, but our core business is providing a great FOH to theatre shows. We also work with conferencing companies and aim to provide additional days working as conference techs.
The nature of our business allows us to book work in 12-18 months ahead and we’d expect the successful applicant to take responsibility for their role make themselves available for the dates that clients book their shows. Many book 30 - 80 per year, 1 to 2 years in advance.
The applicant should live within a short distance of Southampton, to allow for the collecting and returning of equipment, and ideally have transport to take a small footprint PA, desk and boxes. (We regularly fit into an estate car and a people carrier for shows of up to 400 people). But this isn't a deal breaker. We currently provide transport for our other engineer - we're more interested in finding the right engineer.
We expect to be paying you the right fee, travel and accommodation. Accommodation will only be provided when the show requires a 2+ hour drive home, although this can always be negotiated with the client. It’s implied that the job will require late night returns and morning departures. You will see the kind of work we’re doing on a weekly basis on our Facebook wall facebook.com/prestigesoundFOH
To be able to help with the cost of living in 2023, we aim to pay fees within a few days of the show so that our colleagues are not waiting the usual 30 days for their fees. (All fees are payable upon presentation of an invoice)
In the first instance, please apply with a CV and telling us all about you, your experience, your goals, what you currently do in your music career, why we should consider you for our important role, and what your expected fee per show would be.
This can be emailed to foh@prestigesound.co.uk. Please ensure that your application introduction is complete and detailed.
To ensure that we engage the right professional, a mixing assignment and a test may also follow. If you’re not the kind of person who is prepared to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of audio engineering, and ability to produce quality music, to convince us that you deserve the responsibility, then you may not be the right person for us and we wish you luck with your career.
This is a self employed role and, as such, you must be registered as paying Tax and NIC with HMRC and we reserve the right to ask for this to be evidenced. No guaranteed hours are implied. However, depending on the success and consistency of the company (which is directly related to the quality of the professional working for it), future full time roles are not out the realms of possibility!
You'll be required to provide your own personal PLI.
