Job Description

Head Rigger & Warehouse Manager, Somerset – on-site

£40-45,000 per annum + excellent benefits

Overview:

This is a hands-on, high-responsibility Head Rigger & Warehouse Manager role at the heart of a busy events operation. It’s a split position, part on-site crew leadership, part warehouse management with the balance shifting through the year. Peak season (May–September) means more time on installs. Quieter months focus on keeping the warehouse running smoothly and ready for the next run of events.

The role:

On site (Somerset) – Head Rigger

You’ll be the senior person on site, responsible for making sure installs are delivered safely, on time, and to a high standard.

You’ll be:

Leading the crew and setting the tone on site
Running toolbox talks and ensuring safe working practices
Making sure installs are executed cleanly, accurately, and to spec
Keeping jobs on schedule and managing the pace of the day
Acting as the main point of contact for clients on site
Troubleshooting issues as they arise — from access challenges to missing kit
Managing and motivating a mix of freelance crew
Ensuring sites are left clean, tidy, and client-ready
In the warehouse (Somerset) – Warehouse Manager

When you’re not on site, you’ll take ownership of the warehouse and everything that keeps jobs running behind the scenes.

Managing stock – checking, testing, maintaining and tracking equipment
Preparing kit for upcoming jobs, ensuring everything is ready and in the right place
Carrying out repairs and maintenance on equipment
Overseeing safety and compliance (including testing and checks)
Keeping vehicles roadworthy and organised
Supporting logistics, loading, and deliveries
Maintaining a clean, organised and efficient workspace
Overseeing warehouse assistants and crew when needed
The leadership side

This isn’t just a technical Head Rigger & Warehouse Manager role – it’s about presence and leadership.

Lead confidently and fairly, without ego
Hold people to high standards while keeping the team onside
Make decisions independently on site
Work with experienced freelancers and earn their respect
Communicate clearly and flag issues early
What we’re looking for:

Essentials:

Strong experience in rigging, installation, or a similar field (events, AV, lighting, marquees, theatre)
Proven experience leading teams on site
Solid understanding of health & safety and working at height
Previous experience of working in a warehouse environment
Reliable, committed and flexible (including weekends and early starts in peak season)
Full UK driving licence and confidence driving vans
Comfortable taking ownership and being accountable
We look forward to hearing from you.
