You'll take ambitious ideas, transform them into technical reality, and lead talented crews to deliver unforgettable experiences for our clients. If you love solving complex technical challenges, leading high-performing teams and seeing your work come to life on site, this is the role for you.
Working at Light Fantastic, we're trusted by world-leading brands to create live experiences that inspire, engage and leave lasting impressions. From iconic venues to immersive productions, no two projects are ever the same. We're growing because our clients trust us to deliver exceptional work - and we're looking for people who share that same drive for excellence.

If you're passionate about live events, love finding solutions and want to work alongside some of the industry's best, you'll feel right at home.
The Role
This isn't just project management. You'll be a technical expert involved from the very first client conversation, helping shape creative ideas into technically deliverable solutions before leading the project through planning, preparation and live delivery. Working closely with clients, suppliers and internal teams, you'll ensure every project is delivered safely, creatively, on budget and to the exceptionally high standards we're known for. You'll combine technical expertise with commercial awareness, balancing innovative ideas with practical delivery to create outstanding results for our clients.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build trusted client relationships, understand project objectives and provide expert technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle.
- Analyse, challenge and refine client briefs, developing creative technical solutions in collaboration with technical teams.
- Produce accurate quotations, proposals, equipment specifications, technical drawings and project documentation that deliver commercially effective solutions.
- Manage project budgets, schedules, logistics and technical resources from concept through completion.
- Lead, motivate and coordinate technical teams across multiple live events, ensuring departments work seamlessly together on-site.
- Adapt confidently to changing client requirements and live event challenges, keeping projects, budgets and teams on track.
- Champion the highest standards of safety, quality and technical excellence, while sharing your expertise to support the development of others.
What We're Looking For
You'll bring deep expertise in one core discipline of live event technology in either lighting, audio and/or video - along with a solid working knowledge across the wider technical landscape. You'll also have:
- Minimum of 2 years' experience delivering technical projects within live events or production.
- Strong system design and implementation knowledge.
- Experience producing technical drawings, plots and H&S documentation.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD and design management software.
- Excellent commercial awareness with experience managing budgets and quotations.
- Outstanding organisational and communication skills.
- The ability to lead, motivate and develop technical teams.
- A calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure.

We believe exceptional people deserve an exceptional place to work. When you join Light Fantastic you'll be part of:
- Exciting projects with leading brands and venues.
- A supportive, collaborative team that genuinely has each other's backs.
- Opportunities to grow your skills and develop your career.
- Great wellbeing and healthcare benefits.
- Team socials and company events.
