Description:
Are you an experienced fine art handler with a passion for delivering exceptional care to some of the world's most valuable works? We're looking for a skilled and detail-driven Fine Art Technician to join a well-established, industry-leading art logistics operation based in Middlesex.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work across a genuinely varied project portfolio — from high-profile gallery and museum installations to private collections and international art fairs — with a team that sets the standard for best practice in fine art logistics.
The Role
You'll be responsible for the safe handling, packing, transport, installation, and storage of artworks across a wide range of media and formats. Day-to-day, you can expect to:
* Handle and pack paintings, sculptures, installations, and delicate objects to the highest professional standards
* Execute on-site art installations and de-installations at galleries, museums, private residences, and fairs
* Load and unload artworks safely using appropriate lifting and securing techniques
* Complete condition checks and maintain accurate documentation including condition reports and packing lists
* Liaise professionally with clients, conservators, registrars, and couriers on live projects
* Support warehouse operations including artwork intake, inventory management, and storage
* Travel domestically and occasionally internationally for installations and exhibition setups
What We're Looking For
* Minimum 2–3 years' experience in a fine art handling, logistics, museum, or gallery environment — applications from outside the fine art sector will not be considered
* Proven installation experience — this is essential for this role
* Strong working knowledge of best practices in art packing, handling, and installation
* High attention to detail with excellent problem-solving ability
* Professional communication skills and the confidence to liaise with high-profile clients
* Flexibility with working hours and willingness to travel
* A full UK driving licence is advantageous but not essential
What's On Offer
* Salary: £30,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
* A fast, straightforward recruitment process — one face-to-face interview only
* The chance to join a recognised leader in the fine art logistics sector
If you have the experience and the eye for detail this role demands, we'd love to hear from you
