Based in North London, this is a very exciting opportunity to work with a highly motivated team of managers helping our clients bring their events to life using sound, lighting and AV technologies.

Ultimately, your success will be demonstrated by successful execution and creation of fantastic looking events.

The role requires an equal measure of production and technical knowledge along with sales and client management. You may currently be working as a sound, lighting or AV project manager in live events or as a senior technician looking to make the next move in your career. This role requires a technical background, with an all-round knowledge of using AV equipment in a wide range of environments, including corporate events, live music and large-scale productions.
