  Description

  Our theatre company is carrying out several projects in different regions of Germany. Exciting immersive theater projects with our own Oceanblue Train are carried out along railway tracks throughout Germany. In August 2025 we stay in Eastern Germany near the boarder to Poland. The train serves as a residence at Frankfurt (Oder) and we stage a performance in an old school building. From September 2025 on we will stay with our train in and near Bremerhaven and will produce several performances with buildings and architecture. Also we are renovating an old railway guard's house.
  
  The theater operates the world's only production facility for theater on rails. There are accommodations, a kitchen, offices, a workshop and the technical warehouse in eleven wagons. The team lives, travels and works on the train. There is a single cabin available for everyone. Full meals are served in the dining car.

  Help

  We are now only looking for a TECHNICIAN or technical helper (f/m/d):
  
  We need a TECHNICIAN for the next period of time 06 August until 26 October 2025. A friendly, well organized and open-minded person who can work as a technician during performances and later also in the railway guard's house with us. We have to build up chairs and material at the locations, build up theatre technique and keep the train organized. It is necessary to be flexible in thinking and find solutions together with us, a driving licence would be an additive advantage (not absolutely necessary). It would be helpful if you are experienced in renovatoing houses and using some machines for that reason. The job is paid on a fee basis against invoice; social security and taxation are the responsibility of the employees.
  
  Good humour, communicative, cooperative, having fun at work, a flexible mind and fun in finding solutions
