Technical Project Manager Live Event Production

Technical Project Manager – Live Event Production 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.
