Rigger

Questors says:

A lighting rigger works as part of a team to achieve an optimum lighting design. They help to install the lighting rig in accordance with design plan within time scales allowed and de-rig lighting at end of production and return equipment to correct storage area. The job may also involve checking for obvious repair needs on lanterns and cables.

The lighting riggers hang and plug all the lanterns, during the get-in. (Average physical strength and a head for heights are required for this). Several are then required for the following few days, to focus and colour the lanterns.
