This impressive agency offers the chance to work on some prestigious events from production launches to award ceremonies, working on some pretty big brand names.

The Role

This midweight role will be responsible for looking after the AV production elements of an event project. This could anything from a full end-to-end client event, sole production brief, or equipment outsourcing for small-scale conferences to large-scale 1000 delegate exhibitions.

Although this role will have the full support of a Technical Director, you will be expected to work autonomously of pulling together detailed proposals, quoting the technical production of an event, conducting technical site visits, planning and setting up custom fabrication, calculating cable requirements and rigging, planning logistics including labour and transport, booking sub-hires, producing detailed technical CAD plans and briefing packs for crew and junior technicians. You will have a keen passion for audiovisual and be naturally hands-on with all the key technical requirements.

Our client is looking for a go-getter who wants to join a highly skilled and enthusiastic team that collaborates to produce some pretty spectacular experiences. You will be a problem solver and strategic thinker who also likes getting stuck into all elements of the AV operation.
