THE ROLE Due to continued growth, the business is now looking to bring a Junior Technical Project Manager into the team to support the delivery of a varied and exciting portfolio of live events.

THE CANDIDATE We are keen to speak with candidates who have experience supporting the technical delivery of live events, whether from an agency, supplier or in-house production background. You may already be working in a technical or production support role and be looking for the next step into project responsibility. Exposure to pre-production planning, onsite delivery and client-facing environments is important, while experience with LED or large-scale live production is beneficial but not essential.
