work-led: the events and calibre first
Private estate weddings, eight-figure budgets, UK and European destinations: the events an Event Production Technician works on here sit at the very top of the industry. In-house equipment, full production ownership, a client list that most technicians spend a career trying to reach.
- Established luxury portfolio for your CV, events from £500k to £10m
- International travel across Europe as a regular part of the role
- Year-end company bonus
- TOIL or overtime pay on all event work
- Flexible hours built around event schedules
The Company
This is a luxury events agency with more than fifty years behind it, delivering private celebrations, weddings and corporate events across the UK and internationally. Everything from creative concept to technical production is handled in-house, with all technical equipment owned and managed by their own team. The client roster is predominantly private and high-end, and every Event Production Technician here works to the standard of delivery that roster demands.

- Liaise with venues, planners and artists to coordinate installations and rehearsals
- Troubleshoot technical issues calmly and escalate where needed
- Carry out equipment testing, maintenance and checks between events

Client-facing confidence and discretion matter here: you will be the professional face on site, often at private events with exacting standards. xgikmsk
