The Role

This is a senior, technically-led Project Manager role within Delta Live’s Projects Team.

The Technical Project Manager owns events end-to-end, from initial client brief through to onsite delivery and debrief. The role combines hands-on technical expertise with structured project management, requiring strong judgement in live environments, deep understanding of production workflows, and the confidence to lead teams onsite. This role is suited to an experienced technical professional who has progressed into project leadership and remains comfortable being close to the technical detail, particularly in audio and AV-led environments.

• Provide constructive feedback to managers on capability gaps or development needs.
