ABOUT THIS JOB:

As part of our Event Production team, Producers are the engine that powers every event, turning client vision into a real-world show that actually works, sounds great, and looks intentional.

The Audio Visual (AV) Technical Event Producer sits right at the heart of that process, acting as the bridge between Sales and the final audio experience that shows up on site. This role takes a high volume of booked events and turns them into the technical backbone of production, including detailed audio system designs, signal flow diagrams, network schematics, and clean, database-driven pick, pack, and pull lists.

Working closely with Sales, Design, and Warehouse teams, this role owns the full pre-production workflow for audio and video elements. From CAD drawings to sub-rental coordination, you are building the foundation that lets the field team walk in confident, prepared, and ready to make it all happen without surprises.

In short, you take big ideas, translate them into precise systems, and make sure every piece is ready to perform before the first cable gets plugged in!

JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Design and document audio and video systems for events, including speaker and display or projection coverage plots, signal flow diagrams, network schematics, and patch lists using Vectorworks and other design tools.

• Test and validate client-provided content and show files; respond to client inquiries on behalf of the Event Designer Team.
• Participate in weekly meetings to review upcoming events, production needs, and audio challenges.

• Advise on staffing needs, ensuring the right crew and expertise for specific events and clients.
• Coordinate with co-vendors and venues to obtain critical structural data for safe and accurate rigging and placement.
• Manage relationships with sub-rental vendors of A/V equipment, ensuring clear and timely communication about order changes and timelines.
• Communicate with the event crew via phone or in-person to ensure seamless event execution.
• Review and accommodate client technical riders for audio and video, negotiating substitutions when needed while ensuring alignment with venue and event requirements.
• Research and recommend new equipment purchases to reduce rental costs and expand Got Light’s offerings.
• Assist with equipment quality control in the warehouse as needed.
