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.

• 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
