Manager of Operations or an Operations Manager or something like that at
the tip of the iceberg overseeing the other two folk who would then be
Production Managers or simply Technical Directors without suggesting
Senior/Junior or I /II or any other arbitrary delineation. Simpler is

We are in the process of revisiting and revamping titles and structures
of our Technical Directors.<br>
Where I work we have been two technical directors with equal duties and
responsibilities.<br>
Now they want to redo things.<br>
For a total of three but, with one in charge of the other two.
Basically still equal in the ability to work independently and get things
done on their own.<br>
What is the current way of titling these folks.<br>
We have to be able to load in, set up, run, strike and load out,
maintain, inventory, and repair electrical, lighting, audio, stages, arena
and theater rigging, truss and motors, projectors and computers. Build sets
and props and paint. Negotiate contracts. Maintain theater building and
equipment. Receive and ship equipment with vendors. Deal with patrons,
clients and talent.<br>
<br>
Where I work ideas of what to title these folks are:<br>
Technical Director with two Theater Technicians<br>
Sr. Technical Director and two Technical Directors<br>
Technical Director II and two Technical Director I's.<br>
<br>
What other things would you call them (in polite company)? Why?<br>
I am indifferent other than to advertise these properly and get the right
people for the positions.<br>
