Location: Borehamwood - Hertfordshire (≈25 mins from Central London) Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 (DOE) Working Pattern: Flexible – aligned to live event schedules
The Role
This isn’t a coordination role — it’s about technical ownership.
We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager from a live events background who is confident taking projects from initial brief through to live show delivery, and who’s just as comfortable specifying a system as they are leading a crew onsite.
You’ll sit at the centre of each project — bridging client, creative, and technical teams — and making sure everything lands on time, on spec, and on show day without compromise.
What You’ll Be Doing
Taking full ownership of end-to-end live event delivery
Acting as the technical lead onsite across lighting, audio, and video
Translating creative briefs into practical, buildable technical solutions
Designing systems and specifying exact equipment (brands/models)
Producing quotes, budgets, technical drawings, and documentation
Leading and coordinating multi-disciplinary technical teams
Managing logistics, schedules, and resources across multiple projects
Troubleshooting live issues in real time — staying calm under pressure
Building strong, trusted relationships with clients
What We’re Looking For
You’re likely already working in live events and want a role where you can step up and take full technical control, not just manage timelines.
You’ll need:
Solid experience in live event production
Strong expertise in at least one discipline (lighting, audio, or video) with confidence across all three
Proven ability to design and deliver technical solutions end-to-end
Experience leading teams and running projects onsite
Confidence producing technical drawings, specs, and H&S documentation
Strong commercial awareness — comfortable with budgets and quoting
A hands-on mindset — willing to get involved when it counts
Excellent client-facing communication skills
Bonus if you have:
AutoCAD and/or rental/asset system experience
UK driving licence
You’ll Fit This Role If You
Prefer being close to the delivery, not just managing from behind a desk
Enjoy solving real-world technical problems under pressure
Can confidently walk onto site and be seen as the technical authority
Thrive in fast-moving environments where no two shows are the same
Balance creative thinking with practical execution
Lead by example and bring teams with you
Why Join
Work on high-quality, technically engaging productions
Be part of a team that values multi-skilled technical leaders
Real ownership — no siloed roles
Opportunity to grow into senior technical leadership
What’s On Offer
Salary & Benefits
£50,000 – £60,000 (DOE)
Pension scheme + long service recognition
Health & Wellbeing
Private healthcare and dental cover
Enhanced sick pay
Time-back policy after long/weekend event days
Culture
Supportive, collaborative technical team
Regular socials and company events
Daily perks in the office
Development
Access to high-spec kit and technology
Ongoing training and progression opportunities
The Reality of the Role
This is for someone who enjoys owning projects, leading from the front, and delivering under live event pressure — not someone who wants a purely desk-based PM role.
