  • Ensure safe and professional technical practices at all times
  • Contribute to post-event debriefs and continuous improvement discussions

Qualifications
Required
  • 5+ years of hands-on live event production experience
  • Strong proficiency in live audio mixing for bands, DJs, and spoken-word events
  • Working knowledge of lighting programming and operation for live entertainment
  • Experience operating shows in fast-paced, public-facing environments
  • Strong troubleshooting skills under live-event pressure
  • Clear communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across departments

Preferred
  • Experience in outdoor venues, festivals, or entertainment districts
  • Familiarity with permanent-installed AV systems
  • Basic knowledge of video playback, signal flow, and show control
  • Experience leading or mentoring other technicians

Work Environment & Schedule
