We’re looking for a freelance Production Manager to support Intertidal Allotment – a long-term project by Andrew Merritt creating a functional artwork and new community allotment on the north coast of Sheppey.
Following two years of community research inviting Sheppey’s residents and visitors alike to imagine the possibilities for a new community allotment on the north coast of Sheppey, and more recently to experiment with material and design development, this March we entered the prototype testing phase of the project. The first wave of modular prototypes were installed in the intertidal zone near Ship on Shore beach in Sheerness, with a further series of prototypes due to be installed in July 2025. The prototypes will remain in situ until January 2026, when they will be deinstalled.
The Production Manager will be responsible for managing all production and technical aspects of the Intertidal Allotment and its prototypes. This includes an oversight of the current prototypes, installation of further prototypes, and the ongoing communication with stakeholders. They will be an important part of the team, reporting into the Project Manager, Emma Leach and Cement Fields’ Director, Jon Davis, as well as working closely with the artist, Andrew Merritt.
