Covid Compliance Officers

Cardinal Stage will be hiring Covid Compliance Officers for each production this season. This is a dedicated position on the team of each show, charged with overseeing Covid-related health and safety protocols during production. Public health interest/experience is beneficial but not necessary, as all CCO’s will be required to go through an online training program when they are hired (paid for by Cardinal). The CCO will work with a consulting physician and the senior staff to build Safety Guidelines for their production, taking into account the particular circumstances of the show. 

The CCO will be responsible for the following: 

• Creation and execution of the production Covid Health & Safety Plan, including protocols for a positive test within the company
• Tracking of all daily temperature/symptom checks for artists
• Tracking of all testing for artists
• Advising creative team and crew on best practices to protect artists
• Advising Production Manager on best practices for load-in/load-out and tech

The CCO will need to be available for the duration of their production. Dates for the upcoming shows are below. Please contact Kate Galvin, Artistic Director ([email protected]) for more details and to apply for one of these positions.
