* Coordinate crew, logistics, transport, and equipment in collaboration with warehouse and operations teams
* Liaise with venues and suppliers to confirm logistics, technical services, and compliance
On-Site Delivery

* Mentor junior team members and support their professional development
* Flexibly assist other teams as needed to ensure overall project success

* Proven track record managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders
* Highly organised with exceptional time management and attention to detail
* Confident in leading teams on-site and engaging directly with clients
* Comfortable working with budgets, quotes, and resource allocation

* Health & Safety knowledge (IOSH or NEBOSH preferred)
* Willing to travel and work flexible hours during event periods
