HYBRID WORKING: 3 DAYS IN OFFICE

Live shows, fan zones, virtual awards, hybrid conferences across the UK and Europe. The kind of varied, high-profile briefthat keeps an AV Event Project Manager genuinely stretched. This is a permanent seat at a company doing that work at scale, with real client ownership from first site visit to de-rig.

• Varied portfolio spanning live, hybrid and virtual events
• Direct client relationships and site leadership from day one
• Permanent, full-time role with clear progression
• Good balance of office time and on-site delivery
• Competitive salary up to £55,000 depending onexperience

The Company

This is a professional AV production company delivering events across the UK, Europe and beyond, from virtual awards

ceremonies and fan zones through to conferences and dinners. The team handles everything in-house, which means real

collaboration across technical disciplines and a portfolio that covers the full spectrum of live, hybrid and virtual formats. The AV

Event Project Manager here gets stuck in across the whole project lifecycle.

The Role

As AV Event Project Manager you will take ownership of projects end to end, sitting at the centre of client relationships, preproduction planning and on-site delivery for a range of events across the UK and Europe.

• Preparing and managing quotes for live, hybrid and virtual projects
• Leading client meetings, site visits and presentations
• Managing the full pre-production process to deadline and budget
• Coordinating crew, staff and equipment across multiple projects
• Supporting show operation, rigging and de-rig where required

The Candidate

The right AV Event Project Manager will have a solid background in project management or senior technical delivery within a

large AV company or direct competitor, bringing hands-on knowledge of AV equipment and the events industry. You will be

confident working to Vectorworks for CAD work, hold a full UK driving licence, and be comfortable leading client conversations and site visits independently.

Experience in site surveys, show operation or rigging is beneficial but not essential, as is a track record of client-facing presentations. Creative problem-solving and strong interpersonal skills matter as much as technical knowledge here.

If you are a senior freelancer ready to go permanent, or an AV Event Project Manager looking to move from a larger operation into a role with genuine ownership, this is worth a look.

Up to £55,000, a permanent contract and a genuinely varied live events portfolio. S
