APAP believes that pay transparency is a critical step toward pay equity and benefits both the job seeker and the employer. For those reasons, we are now requiring that employers include a salary range in all new job postings.
Postings that are backfilled from another association’s career center may not include salary information.

The Sound Engineer operates sound reproduction, recording, and related equipment in the Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx). Optimal artistic effect and nuance are paramount, and the sound engineer has significant overall responsibility for the audience and artist experience in a high-end performing arts center that presents 150+ live events per year in genres ranging from jazz and folk (with a strongly global component) to classical, new music, talk/lecture, chorale, theatre, and others. While live-audio configuration and concert sound mixing are central to the role and represent the highest-level artistic qualification, the Sound Engineer also configures, accomplishes, and/or manages recording, AV setups for events outside of the concert venue, and, on occasion, sonic or audio components of art installations. The Sound Engineer works closely with artists, thinks obsessively about the audience audio experience, expands their skillsets as technologies improve and evolve, and collaborates on a daily basis with production and other staff in PRAx. The position requires a high degree of artistry and musical training/musicality alongside technical skills and expertise, as well as the skills not just to iterate the same tasks day after day but to customize approaches across venues, genres, and the varying artistic goals of each performance.
This is a 10-month position that correlates with the PRAx annual season, September-June.
Experience in Music, Music Technology and Production, or related field
Experience running live sound in a venue and/or touring context, achieved in academic or professional contexts
AV-over-IP networking knowledge
Demonstrated musical knowledge through any combination of degrees, life experiences, or professional employment.
Record of actively contributing to a respectful, safe, and inclusive work environment.
