This important role is about bringing ambitious event designs to life. Aztec Event Services is looking for a Scenic Project Manager to act as the crucial bridge connecting our clients' creative visions, the commercial realities of a budget, and the physical constraints of a busy workshop and event site. In this dynamic role, you will take ownership of the technical and structural reality of our builds, freeing up our Account Managers to focus on the broader aspects of the show.

Responsibilities

Technical CAD & Structural Design: Translate conceptual client designs into structurally safe, buildable realities by creating detailed technical solutions, build plans, and CAD elevations.
Commercial Budgeting: Work directly with Account Managers to prepare accurate project build budgets.
Workflow & Deadline Management: Prioritise drafting and quoting across multiple fast-moving projects simultaneously to ensure all deadlines are met.
On-Site Build Leadership: Attend complex site installations to supervise structural construction and ensure the build team fully understands and executes the CAD plans.
Client Technical Advisory: Attend client briefings and site visits to constructively explain complex technical constraints and structural limitations to non-technical stakeholders.
