Collaborative and supportive team culture
Strong opportunities for growth and progression
The Company
This well-established event production company is recognised for delivering innovative and seamless technical solutions across live, hybrid, and digital events. With decades of experience in event, installation, and film production, the business is built on a reputation for technical excellence, reliability, and creativity.
You'll be joining a passionate and close-knit team that values collaboration, personal development, and work/life balance. The environment encourages curiosity, ownership, and growth - many of our best people have developed through our in-house training and mentoring programmes.
The Role
As Technical Project Manager, you'll manage a diverse range of live event projects, from initial client brief through to on-site delivery and post-event follow-up. Working alongside a talented team of Project Managers, you'll take ownership of multiple projects varying in scale, complexity, and lead time - all aligned to your skills and ambitions.
Your key responsibilities will include:
Client liaison and management
Leading client discussions from brief to delivery
Preparing specifications and agreeing budgets
Acting as the main point of contact between clients and internal teams
Technical production
Translating briefs into detailed technical specifications and quotes
Selecting appropriate equipment from stock or sourcing externally where needed
Managing audio, visual, lighting, rigging, and IT systems for events
Overseeing logistics, including crew booking, scheduling, and site coordination
You'll play an active role in supporting the creative aspects of each project, ensuring that the technical delivery aligns seamlessly with the client's vision. This includes managing requirements such as design, print, and build, and working closely with designers, production staff, and other internal teams to bring creative concepts to life in a practical and technically sound way.
You'll oversee the full event delivery process, managing all on-site activity during rig, live operation, and de-rig. Acting as the main point of contact on-site, you'll ensure everything runs smoothly, safely, and to the highest standard. After each event, you'll lead post-event reviews, gathering feedback to support continuous improvement and maintaining strong client relationships to encourage future bookings and referrals.
