Technical Project Lead
We’re looking for a proactive and hands-on candidate to join our Hire & Events team. This role is for a resourceful problem solver who’s equally comfortable in front of clients as they are behind the kit. In this role, you’ll help win projects, create proposals, and then be right there on-site — setting up, operating, and managing AV, sound, and lighting alongside your team.
Every day is different: you’re quoting a dry hire, or running a conference, show, or outdoor event. You’ll be making an impact every day.
What you’ll be doing
* Client-facing – act as the face of the company, building strong relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and ensuring they receive excellent service.
* On-site implementation – lead a small team of technicians, liaise with venues and suppliers, and ensure events run smoothly to the highest professional standard.
* Technical input – use your knowledge of lighting, sound, and AV equipment to design solutions, oversee technical setups, and get hands-on with the technology.
* Winning work – respond to enquiries, create accurate and engaging proposals, and follow up on leads to secure dry hire and event projects.
* Project oversight – plan and manage all aspects of events, from initial brief to delivery, including staffing, logistics, sub-hires, budgets, and technical documentation.
What we’re looking for
* Confident communicator who enjoys working directly with clients.
* Strong technical knowledge in sound, lighting, and AV.
* Ability to regularly operate shows as part of event delivery, using your technical expertise to ensure high-quality outcomes.
* Experience managing small teams onsite, with the ability to stay calm under pressure.
* Organised and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple projects at once.
* Commercial awareness with an eye for balancing great delivery and profitability.
* Flexible and proactive team player — equally happy preparing proposals in the office or delivering events in the field.
* Full UK driving licence is essential.
* Flexibility to work evenings and weekends, and, as needed, stay away from home, reflecting the demands and variety of the events industry.
At our core, we’re a friendly, supportive, and professional team. We pride ourselves on delivering great experiences for our clients and making events happen at the highest standard. Joining us means:
* Variety in your day-to-day work — no two projects are the same.
* The chance to combine sales, client interaction, and hands-on delivery.
* Opportunities to develop your technical and project management skills.
* Being part of a growing company where your contribution will make a real impact.
The position is a full-time role, working 40 hours per week.
If you’re passionate about events, thrive in a client-facing role, and love being hands-on, this could be the perfect next step for you.
