TCC IS SEEKING A NEW COLLABORATOR!
Location: Remote (U.S. or Canada-based)
Travel: Occasional

We are seeking a Theatre Planning & Design Consultant with deep expertise in the design of performing arts facilities across a range of venue sizes. This role is ideal for a creative, self-directed professional with an architectural background, significant experience with performing arts facility design, and strong working knowledge of codes and accessibility requirements. High-level proficiency in Revit and AutoCad is required. Personality and excellent communication skills are key.

About the Opportunity: You will play a central role in the planning and design of performing arts environments. Your work will span early programming and feasibility studies through concept design, detailed design of the audience chamber, including seating layouts and sightline studies, planning of front- and back-of-house support spaces, and construction administration. You will collaborate closely with architects, owners, engineers, and specialty consultants, and confidently present design concepts to clients and stakeholders. This is a fully remote position for candidates based in the U.S. or Canada with regular travel for interviews, project meetings, site visits and industry events.

About Us: TCC is a team of 12 industry veterans and creative thinkers, committed to working closely with our clients and each other to develop high quality, world-class places of public assembly. Operating under a unique organizational model, TCC differs from most planning and consulting practices in that all members of the organization are principal partners. We are hands-on designers, working from proposals through to project completion. Our work and philosophy can be viewed in more detail at https://theatrecc.com/
