Controls Testing Technician – Integration Team
TAIT partners with artists, brands, IP holders, and place makers to bring culture-defining, never-before-seen experiences to life. With a legacy of innovation spanning over 45 years, TAIT has grown from pioneering rock ‘n’ roll concert staging to setting the global standard for extraordinary live events and experiences through cutting-edge technology, precision engineering, and creative design.
TAIT’s 20 global offices have developed iconic productions and experiences in over 30 countries, all seven continents, and even outer space for renowned performers, theme parks, exhibits, and venues across the globe, including partnerships with Taylor Swift, Cirque Du Soleil, Royal Opera House, Nike, NASA, Bloomberg, Google, Beyoncé, and The Olympics.
Position Purpose
The integration team at TAIT is made up of technical experts and project leaders who plan, set up, commission, and handover innovative systems to clients on sites throughout the world. The Controls Testing Technician is responsible for the technical planning, execution, and management of technical systems for integration during the six-stage factory integration period.
While not a primary member of a project’s core team, this role must effectively work with project leads to ensure each project is appropriately tested, QC’d, and prepped for site.
Additionally, as the Controls Testing Technician retains significant historical information on the beginning of a machine and system’s lifespan, they also are expected to regularly engage with the onsite team to answer questions and occasionally mobilize to site to assist with commissioning and troubleshooting.
