Hours: 22.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday

 

Contract Type: Permanent, part-time.

 

We are looking for an Interpretation Technician to join our small Interpretation team at RHS Gardens, Wisley. The interpretation team at this busy visitor attraction designs and produces outdoor displays, interactive content and informational signage to our different visitors across the Gardens, engaging adults and children with our science and horticultural content and helping visitors to navigate their way around the site.

 

The Interpretation Technician will assist our 3D and graphic designers in the design of a range of interpretation components to budget, ensuring they are robust for the outdoor environment, for daily use by visitors and are easy to maintain. S/he will build interpretation and signage elements in our on-site workshop and, where required, liaise with external suppliers and fabricators to commission small design and builds externally, where needed, and obtain quotes. A core part of this role will be the installation and maintenance of signage and interpretation across the site, working in conjunction with our Curatorial, Facilities and Estates teams, and co-ordinating the maintenance and servicing of machinery in our on-site workshop.

 

You will be joining a creative, passionate, self-sufficient team. The right person for this role will ideally have experience in 3D production and running a workshop with power tools. Experience in designing and building interpretation for visitor attractions would be a bonus. You will be adept at managing your own time and, crucially, have a can-do attitude with a willingness to support the team, pitching in wherever needed.
