propmaster
Theater objects coordinator
A propmaster is the person responsible for acquiring, organizing, and managing props in a film, television, or theater production.
The role involves sourcing objects—whether purchasing, renting, or fabricating them—and ensuring they're available when needed on set or stage.
The propmaster tracked down a vintage typewriter for the period piece.
Also called props master or property master.
