Have you ever gone to a festival, concert or event and thought.
- I wonder how the sound, lights and screens all work?
- Who puts this all together?
- How do I even get a job like that?
The answer is Novatech, and the opportunity is the Novatech Academy
Novatech Creative Event Technology is one of Australia’s leading providers of entertainment and event technologies, working across small to large-scale events on a local, national and international level, all from our home in Adelaide. We proudly use world leading brands with a focus on full-service turn-key solutions across audio, vision, lighting & rigging systems, for a range of live events and projects. Novatech’s services are backed by a world class team of over 80 committed designers, project managers and technicians who work together with clients to deliver exceptional results by offering innovative solutions and a genuine passion for what they do.
We’re excited to be once again kicking off the Novatech Academy in 2024, supporting the next generation of Audio, Lighting and Video Technicians right here in Adelaide.
Our Academy program is a FREE six-week course designed to give you a backstage pass to the live event industry.
Our dedicated training team will be setting you up for success with face-to-face classroom sessions at our Underdale offices. There will also be practical work and simulated environments, where you will become familiar with the work we do, and how we do it.
Some of the skills you’ll gain include;
- Preparing our equipment to be used for an event.
- Truck Packing (it’s both an art and a science!)
- Setting up for events
- Packing up after events
- Checking our equipment to make sure it’s good to go for next time
What’s the commitment?
- Availability for training over a 6-week period from Monday 30 September 2024. The days of the week we’ll be holding training will vary and the commitment will range from 3-7 hours a week.
- Flexibility to pick up paid casual shifts as you master new skills.
- Interest and availability for ongoing paid casual employment beyond this training period. As the live event industry is 24/7 this type of work involves a variety of start and finish times both at our offices or at event locations.
What do I need?
- Curiosity and Enthusiasm – how good are gigs! Think Illuminate Adelaide, Harvest Rock, LIV Golf Adelaide, Wildlands, Spin Off… and that’s just some of what we’ve worked in across 2023 and 2024.
- A great attitude and work ethic.
- A Construction Induction Card (White Card) or the ability to obtain one.
- Black Steel Capped Boots
