Crew Chief

The Crew Chief is listed when we have more than 5 Crew members as coordination of tasks is required. Many times, the crew chief won’t be listed on your AV quote because they are another stagehand, but they manage the entire crew. Sometimes, technicians or managers can act as crew chiefs. However, with the crew chief, their sole responsibility is to make sure everyone shows up on time, that they’re getting their breaks, and that their time is clocked properly.
 
A crew chief manages a the entire crew of AV technicians or communications technicians who install, maintain, and repair AV equipment. An AV crew is a group of professionals who each work on a specific aspect of an AV display, such as lighting, sound, or audio. Here are some responsibilities of an AV crew chief: Supervising the crew and crew leaders, Assigning crews to departments for the project, Communicating with the client and office about changes, Coordinating crew breaks, and Distributing work materials and safety jackets.
