Technical Project Manager

Hybrid working: 3 days in office, 2 days from home

Conferences, live shows, awards and exhibitions across London's most sought-after venues, and a full-service production company where creative, technical, scenic and content sit under one roof. An Event Technical Project Manager role with bespoke high-end work on the portfolio, international travel building in, and a funded development budget behind you.

• Genuine 2-day WFH, any days you choose


• Company-funded development courses


• International travel, including expanding into New York


• High-calibre, bespoke production for your portfolio


• Strong internal mobility and progression track record

This is a mid-size production company and full-service agency with 30 years in the industry, now operating across the UK and internationally. Every in-house specialism, creative, technical, scenic, content and production, sits under one roof, which means genuine collaboration rather than outsourced handoffs. Long tenure is the norm here with internal moves and bespoke roles created around individuals.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Production, the Event Technical Project Manager owns the technical delivery of multiple concurrent projects, from initial quote and kit specification through to live event oversight, across a portfolio that spans conferences, awards, live shows and exhibitions.

• Advise on technical kit and produce equipment lists across audio, video and lighting


• Quote, budget and monitor technical margins for each project


• Liaise with warehouse, operations and production teams to maintain project flow


• Produce technical plans, risk assessments and health and safety documentation


• Attend client and site visits, managing relationships throughout the event cycle


• Oversee technicians on-site during live event days

The right fit for this Event Technical Project Manager role is someone who has worked hands-on in live events technical delivery and is ready to own the project management side, or already does. You should be able to kit-list confidently across at least two disciplines from audio, video and lighting, and be comfortable managing several events at the same time without dropping a deadline.

Candidates coming from a purely technical background who are actively stepping into an Event Technical Project Manager position are genuinely considered here, as are established technical PMs looking for more variety. Client-facing confidence and the ability to problem-solve under pressure on-site will matter as much as what's on paper.

Hybrid working, a funded development budget, international travel and bespoke high-end production across some of London's best venues: it's a strong package by any measure. First interviews are being booked now, so get your application in and make sure this one doesn't pass you by.
