Scenic Project Manager

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 DOE
 Location: Arborfield
 Working Hours: 40 hours per week, with overtime available
 Working Arrangement: Office-based with flexible/hybrid options

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Scenic Project Manager to take end-to-end ownership of scenic projects within a fast-paced AV & Events environment. This is a hands-on role combining project management, creative design, technical planning and onsite delivery, working across everything from initial concepts and budgets through to fabrication, installation and de-rig.

You’ll coordinate closely with designers, clients, internal Project Managers and external fabrication partners, ensuring every scenic element is delivered on time, within budget and to the required standard. With fabrication currently outsourced, you’ll play an important role in managing those relationships while also helping develop the company’s in-house scenic capability as the department grows.

Key Responsibilities

Manage scenic projects end-to-end, from initial concept and design development through budgeting, procurement, fabrication and final onsite delivery.
Manage project budgets and costs, while preparing production-ready artwork, large and small-format print files and technical drawings using Adobe Creative Cloud and CAD software.
Coordinate external fabrication partners, ensuring quality, costs and timelines are managed effectively, while supporting the development of future in-house fabrication capabilities.
Lead onsite scenic delivery, overseeing installation and de-rig while being comfortable getting hands-on with straightforward scenic builds and installations where required.
Collaborate with Project Managers and wider technical teams to plan and deliver scenic elements as part of larger AV and event projects.
Manage and maintain scenic stock within the warehouse, ensuring items such as bars, desks, plinths, tables and stock flats are organised, maintained and readily available for upcoming projects.

About You

Proven experience working within an events production company or similar fast-paced environment.
Demonstrable end-to-end project management experience across scenic, events, exhibitions or other physical build projects.
Confident managing project budgets, costs and external suppliers.
Proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, with experience preparing artwork for production.
Proficient in CAD software, ideally SketchUp and/or Vectorworks.
Comfortable with basic scenic installation, including set wrapping, stage builds and similar hands-on work.

Desirable Experience

Experience with beMatrix, Aluvision or similar system-build products.
Technical understanding of AV integration within scenic environments.
Graphic design experience.
Experience delivering scenic solutions incorporating integrated screens or projection.

What’s on Offer

Overtime paid at standard hourly rate up to 48 hours per week, with time-and-a-third for additional hours beyond 48.
4 weeks’ annual leave, plus UK bank holidays and your birthday off.
Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
Vitality Health Insurance and Rewards Programme.
Octopus EV Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
Genuine trust and autonomy from day one, with the opportunity to influence and develop the scenic department as the business grows.
A creative, collaborative and high-energy team where people take their work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.
If this sounds like the kind of role where you could bring your scenic project management experience, creative eye and hands-on approach, we’d love to hear from you.
