Working closely with clients, suppliers and internal teams, you'll ensure every project is delivered safely, creatively, on budget and to the exceptionally high standards we're known for.

You'll combine technical expertise with commercial awareness, balancing innovative ideas with practical delivery to create outstanding results for our clients.

Adapt confidently to changing client requirements and live event challenges, keeping projects, budgets and teams on track.
Champion the highest standards of safety, quality and technical excellence, while sharing your expertise to support the development of others.

What We're Looking For

You'll bring deep expertise in one core discipline of live event technology in either lighting, audio and/or video - along with a solid working knowledge across the wider technical landscape.

You'll also have:

Minimum of 2 years' experience delivering technical projects within live events or production.
Strong system design and implementation knowledge.
Experience producing technical drawings, plots and H&S documentation.
Working knowledge of AutoCAD and design management software.
Excellent commercial awareness with experience managing budgets and quotations.
