Overview: This is a hands‑on, high‑responsibility Head Rigger & Warehouse Manager role at the heart of a busy events operation. It’s a split position, part on‑site crew leadership, part warehouse management with the balance shifting through the year. Peak season (May–September) means more time on installs. Quieter months focus on keeping the warehouse running smoothly and ready for the next run of events.
The role:
- You’ll be the senior person on site, responsible for making sure installs are delivered safely, on time, and to a high standard.
- Leading the crew and setting the tone on site.
- Running toolbox talks and ensuring safe working practices.
- Making sure installs are executed cleanly, accurately, and to spec.
- Keeping jobs on schedule and managing the pace of the day.
- Acting as the main point of contact for clients on site.
- Troubleshooting issues as they arise — from access challenges to missing kit.
- Managing and motivating a mix of freelance crew.
- Ensuring sites are left clean, tidy, and client‑ready.
In the warehouse (Somerset) – Warehouse Manager:
- When you’re not on site, you’ll take ownership of the warehouse and everything that keeps jobs running behind the scenes.
- Managing stock – checking, testing, maintaining and tracking equipment.
- Preparing kit for upcoming jobs, ensuring everything is ready and in the right place.
- Carrying out repairs and maintenance on equipment.
- Overseeing safety and compliance (including testing and checks).
- Keeping vehicles roadworthy and organised.
- Supporting logistics, loading, and deliveries.
- Maintaining a clean, organised and efficient workspace.
- Overseeing warehouse assistants and crew when needed.
The leadership side:
- This isn’t just a technical Head Rigger & Warehouse Manager role – it’s about presence and leadership.
- Lead confidently and fairly, without ego.
- Hold people to high standards while keeping the team onside.
- Make decisions independently on site.
- Work with experienced freelancers and earn their respect.
- Communicate clearly and flag issues early.
What we’re looking for:
- Strong experience in rigging, installation, or a similar field (events, AV, lighting, marquees, theatre).
- Proven experience leading teams on site.
- Solid understanding of health & safety and working at height.
- Previous experience of working in a warehouse environment.
- Reliable, committed and flexible (including weekends and early starts in peak season).
- Full UK driving licence and confidence driving vans.
- Comfortable taking ownership and being accountable.
