Lead Engineer - Mechanical

About us

Silicon Theatre Scenery BV (STS) is a leading producer of complete automation solutions for the global theatre and show industry. We operate at the forefront of the musical and theatre world and have proudly contributed to major productions such as Stranger Things, Frozen, Harry Potter, Back to the Future, The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Soldaat van Oranje, and many more.

At STS, we make the impossible possible. We bring design concepts to life, from flying helicopters and a freely moving DeLorean to Aladdin's magic carpet. Our systems may remain invisible to the audience, but without our winches, turntables, lifts and custom control solutions, no performance comes to life. This is the technical craftsmanship we work on every day - in De Kwakel and at locations worldwide.
