Project Coordinator in Manchester

As a Project Coordinator, you’ll be a key part of delivering immersive live events—from initial planning through to post-event wrap-up. You’ll support our Technical & Theming teams by coordinating logistics, creative workflows, supplier relationships, and on-site execution to deliver seamless, high-quality event experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Planning & Logistics: Manage event timelines, schedules, and documentation from pre‑production through to teardown. Coordinate equipment prep, inventory checks, and deliveries in collaboration with AV, theming, and warehouse teams. Book flights, crew, accommodation, and catering; liaise with venues as needed. Organize and track vendor contracts, PO fulfilment, and expense reconciliation.
• Technical & Creative Coordination: Assist with technical specifications, staging plans, schematics, and onsite schedules. Support creative delivery, from sourcing props and print materials to detail research and copy touchpoints. Participate in site visits, walk‑throughs, and vendor liaison to ensure seamless event execution.
• On‑Site Execution: Act as a point of contact for clients, vendors, and crew during events to resolve last‑minute issues promptly. Ensure risk management and compliance practices (health & safety, insurance, permits) are followed. Shadow Project Managers in client‑facing meetings and event briefings to build stakeholder relationships.
• Post‑Event Follow‑Up: Support post‑event close‑out: documentation, budget reconciliation, archiving, and case study generation. Propose process improvements for future planning and execution cycles.

You should have:

• Strong organisational and time‑management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams and deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, confident liaising with clients, suppliers, and internal teams.
• High attention to detail, particularly around schedules, logistics, and documentation.
• Problem‑solving mindset and ability to stay calm under pressure.
• Competent with Microsoft Office / Google Workspace (Excel, Sheets, Docs, scheduling tools).

It would be great if you have:

• Experience working on live events, immersive experiences, exhibitions, theatre, or themed environments.
• Familiarity with technical event elements (AV, staging, lighting, scenic/theming, print).
• Commercial awareness, including basic budgeting, cost tracking, and PO processes.

What We Offer:

• A competitive salary and benefits package.
• A vibrant, inclusive, and dynamic work environment.
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• A chance to be part of a forward‑thinking team making a real difference.
