You are a technically skilled, solutions-driven project leader who thrives in the energy of live events. You enjoy taking ownership, solving complex problems, and turning ambitious ideas into flawless real-world experiences.
You balance creativity with commercial awareness and take pride in delivering high-quality results while maintaining strong client relationships.
About the Role
As a Technical Project Manager, you will be the technical driving force behind our live event projects . This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role where creativity meets precision.
You won’t simply manage timelines—you will help shape client ideas into fully engineered technical solutions, then lead the delivery on-site to bring those experiences to life.

- Collaborate with internal teams to develop creative and technically robust responses to briefs
- Produce accurate quotations, proposals, and technical solutions aligned with client needs and budget constraints
- Support clients in refining briefs to ensure optimal delivery outcomes
- Lead and motivate technical teams across multiple concurrent projects
- Create technical documentation including equipment specifications, plots, and supporting paperwork
- Oversee on-site delivery, coordinating lighting, audio, and video departments
- Manage logistics, budgets, and resource planning across projects
- Adapt quickly to changing requirements while maintaining clear team alignment and delivery standards
What We’re Looking For
- Strong professional experience in live event production or technical project delivery
- Deep expertise in one core discipline: lighting, audio, or video
- Broad working knowledge of the other technical disciplines
- Strong understanding of system design and on-site implementation
- Experience producing technical drawings and documentation (AutoCAD proficiency desirable)
- Familiarity with rental management and event planning software
- Confidence managing budgets, logistics, and commercial aspects of projects
- Strong client-facing skills with the ability to interpret and challenge briefs constructively
- Calm, organised approach under pressure in fast-paced live environments
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle would be highly advantageous.
