Production Assistants support the BIE "Ehsaas" production team with setup, teardown, and transport of equipment across Berklee and partner venues (B41, Record Co, Q Division, David Friend Recital Hall, The Loft). Most tasks require no prior training since engineering staff handle the technical work; this role is primarily runners and extra hands on deck. Production Assistants will also help with decor and setup on 10/16 at The Loft and David Friend Recital Hall.

If in-ear monitors (IEMs) are used for the production (still being confirmed), a smaller subset of Production Assistants will attend a one-time training session and take on additional IEM-specific setup, teardown, and transport duties.

• Transport gear between venues as needed (e.g., Q Division to Berklee campus, The Loft to David Friend Recital Hall)
• Assist with physical setup at The Loft on 10/16
• If assigned to the IEM sub-team: attend a one-time IEM training session and handle IEM-specific setup, teardown, and transport
• Serve as a general runner/extra set of hands for the production team as tasks arise
• Flex across specific shifts between October 2-30, 2026 based on the day's schedule and own class schedule

Required Skills and Knowledge:
