The Company

This is a global video and lighting service provider with locations across the UK and the US, supporting exhibitions, concerts, touring, conferences, theatre, TV and film. The breadth of formats means the asset pool is genuinely varied, and a close-knit technical team means knowledge gets shared rather than siloed. For an Event Lighting Equipment Technician who wants to grow their skills across multiple disciplines, the environment suits that ambition well.

The Role

The Event Lighting Equipment Technician is a hands-on repair and servicing role based at the company’s East of England premises, responsible for keeping a broad range of professional lighting fixtures ready for deployment on live events at every scale.

– Diagnose and repair moving lights, LED fixtures and associated equipment

– Service optics, gobos, lenses, motors, fans and internal components

– Carry out mechanical, electronic and firmware-level repairs

– Assist with LED panel and AV asset maintenance when required

– Record faults and parts used accurately within the asset management system

– Monitor spare parts levels and flag shortages to keep repair work on track

– Support warehouse operations including stock takes and equipment handling

The Candidate

The right Event Lighting Equipment Technician will have a solid background repairing and maintaining professional lighting equipment, with real hands-on experience across moving lights and LED fixtures and a strong instinct for fault-finding across both mechanical and electronic systems. Precision matters in this role, so good manual dexterity and a sharp eye for visual inspection are just as important as technical knowledge.

Knowledge of lighting control systems, firmware-level repair experience, LED panel servicing and warehouse inventory management are all beneficial but not essential. Candidates coming from electronics or AV equipment repair who are keen to step into the live events world will find that experience translates well, and an Event Lighting Equipment Technician background is not the only route in.

Touring productions, major concerts and high-profile exhibitions supply the assets you will be working on every day, inside a global operation that actively supports technical development. Booking for initial interviews starts this week, so apply now and secure your place in the process.
