About the Role

  • Maintain project schedules, trackers, action lists and deadlines across multiple live projects, and keep on top of actions from internal and client meetings.
  • Prepare crew briefs, call sheets, load lists, accreditation lists and install guides, and coordinate hotels, travel, parking, site access and accreditation for crew and suppliers.
  • Raise purchase orders, gather supplier quotations, track and reconcile budgets, and support inventory management and equipment returns.
  • Manage last-minute changes calmly during live delivery and track snags through to completion.
  • Help establish onsite operational requirements ahead of live event delivery and provide regional teams with regular event progress updates via the client's software platform.
  • Schedule promotional staff shifts for regional events and contribute to client responses and presentations.
  • Assist with RAMS, insurance certificates and other event compliance paperwork, and keep project folders, supplier details and documentation organised and current.

  • Calm under pressure and when plans change or deadlines tighten.
  • Adaptable, practical and willing to get hands‑on.
