We are looking for an experienced Prop Maker, with a specialism in Softs (fabric, upholstery, costume props etc), to join our workshop team in creating, replicating and refurbishing props and dressing for a wide range of projects, including theatre productions, music tours, corporate events, and displays; aiming for the highest standard of quality and delivery on schedule.
The Prop Maker (Softs) should have existing professional experience in machine and hand sewing, including pattern making and overlocking. A working knowledge of theatre upholstery and fabricating props with plastazote/foam is also required. A broader skillset in other prop making materials and methods would be advantageous. Good interpersonal skills are essential, as the role involves regular communication with the wider team and our clients. Propworks is a fast-paced environment, with the team operating across multiple productions and projects at any one time. Good time-management and organisational skills are key, with the ability to maintain attention to detail whilst under pressure. Previous experience of working in props for theatre would be beneficial but is not essential. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Job Description (inc.
