We are recruiting a Technical Rental coordinator to operate across both the warehouse and client-facing side of the business. This is a genuinely hybrid role: you will be advising on, booking, and prepping equipment, as well as supporting productions to deliver high-end TV commercial work on time and on budget.
You will look after key commercial accounts, working closely with producers, DPs, gaffers, and production managers. Drawing on your hands-on technical experience and strong commercial awareness, you will help clients achieve their creative ambitions while staying within their financial constraints.Key Responsibilities

* Provide consultative support to clients, advising DPs, gaffers, and production teams on the most suitable camera and lighting packages to achieve the brief within budget.
* Offer responsive, on-the-ground support to shoots, including occasional on-set visits or last-minute deliveries when required.
Technical & Warehouse Operations
* Oversee and participate in the physical preparation of camera and lighting kits, ensuring all equipment is fully tested, correctly configured, and ready for set.
* Carry out basic maintenance, routine servicing, and fault-finding, including minor repairs where appropriate; manage the “off the road” (OTR) list and ensure swift turnaround.
* Maintain accurate stock control, including sub-hire management and general warehouse organisation.
* Keep up to date with new technologies and product releases, providing informed recommendations to management on potential new investments and upgrades.
