Day-to-day operating brief

What Installer (Art handling) work looks like in practice

A Museum Art Installer moves, packs and installs artworks and collection objects for exhibitions, loans and storage. Terms should cover handling plans, condition checks, crates, lifts, team roles, wall construction, fixings, showcases, couriers, tools, working at height and gallery security. The installer should not lift unfamiliar objects without briefing, drill into unverified surfaces or alter approved display positions and mounts for convenience. Installation sequencing should account for object routes, floor loading, scaffold access and when cases become sealed or alarms active. Tool counts and loose fixings need reconciliation before galleries reopen, ensuring a drill bit, screw or packing fragment does not remain inside a showcase or beneath a valuable object.

Review handling and installation plans.
Pack move and position objects.
Use lifts tools and fixings safely.
