Event Technical Project Manager

Technical Project Manager - Live Events & Conferences
South Manchester | Hybrid (3 days office, 2 days home)
Upto £48,000 |
Lots of International travel

We're recruiting on behalf of our client, an international event production company.

Conferences and live event production is everything they do, delivered end to end as the trusted production partner to their clients, with a strong presence in healthcare and pharma, where events are high-touch, high-profile and delivered to an exacting standard.

They're looking for a Technical Project Manager with two things that rarely come together in this sector: genuine technical AV depth, and the client-facing skills to lead the relationship, not just the kit.

The role

• Own technical delivery from brief to on-site delivery across live, virtual and hybrid events, including congresses, exhibitions and hybrid meetings, with conferences at the core
• Act as the client's main point of contact throughout each project
• Manage clients, suppliers and freelancers across multiple concurrent projects
• Produce floor plans, technical schematics and risk assessments
• Deliver events internationally: approximately 60 to 80 on-site days per year, mostly across Europe with some global travel. This is a role for someone who genuinely wants to be on the road

What you'll need

• Technical AV and project management experience, brief to delivery, gained within an AV production company, technical event production agency or conference production company
• Strong technical grounding across lighting, audio and visual
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills, with the confidence to manage senior stakeholders
• Experience delivering live, virtual and hybrid events
• International event delivery experience

Stepping up?

If you've recently moved from a hands-on technical AV role into project management, or you're ready to make that leap, this client will consider you. The technical depth is the non-negotiable. They'll invest in developing the project management side for the right person.

Why this role

• Production is the whole business, not a department. Everything is delivered in-house
• Blue-chip clients in healthcare and pharma who treat them as a partner, not a supplier
• International work across Europe and beyond
• Hybrid working from a South Manchester base
• Salary of up to £48,000 depending on experience
