As a Specialist Technician, you will provide technical expertise, guidance, and advice within our Fine Art studio spaces, with a specific focus on Sculpture and Computational Arts. You will actively engage with students and will supervise learning activities, offering support and knowledge to develop the expressive/creative intentions of learning activities within the Studios.

You will also provide constructive feedback and will contribute to student informal formative assessments, with reference to appropriate learning outcomes of the Subject ethos or Course narrative. You will support students with practical and digital processes, whilst also developing interlinking knowledges surrounding creative industries and contemporary art world procedures, with an eye on student sustainable practices.

You must also demonstrate extensive technical knowledge of a wide range of 2D/3D/Digital making, fabrication and trans-disciplinary processes and techniques, as well as knowledge of a range of art and design software (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite) and applied 3D Modelling software (e.g. Blender). Excellent communication skills will be essential as you collaborate effectively with students, colleagues, and external partners, along with an ability to inspire and motivate students.
