Projects are varied, fast-paced, and require a high level of collaboration across disciplines.
This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where you’ll take a brief from initial concept, shape the technical solution, and lead delivery on-site. You’ll act as the central point of coordination across clients, internal teams, and technical crews, ensuring projects are executed to a high standard both creatively and commercially. You’ll be trusted to own your projects, contribute to technical design, and drive outcomes that balance innovation with operational and financial control.

- Experience designing and delivering live event technical solutions
- Confident producing technical drawings, specifications, and H&S documentation
- Familiarity with AutoCAD and rental/project management systems
- Commercial awareness with the ability to manage budgets and pricing
- Strong client-facing communication skills and a proactive approach to problem solving
