The Role

This is a senior, technically-led Project Manager role within Delta Live's Projects Team. The primary focus of the role is technical delivery, ensuring complex live events are designed, planned, and executed to the highest standards across Delta Live's accredited venues and wider project portfolio. 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.

• Translate client briefs into robust, technically sound event solutions.
• Design and specify audio, AV, lighting and staging systems appropriate to each event.

• Lead technical planning meetings and provide clear, confident advice.
• Build trusted client relationships through reliable delivery and strong communication.
• Produce equipment specifications, quotes, schedules and project documentation.
• Develop and manage realistic project timelines, identifying risks and dependencies.
• Monitor project costs and support margin control in line with agreed budgets.
• Prepare and own RAMS and related H&S documentation.

• Identify opportunities to improve technical quality, processes and efficiency.
• Provide constructive feedback to managers on capability gaps or development needs.
