Liaise with AV suppliers and other production contractors to ensure the safe and efficient pack-down of equipment and infrastructure.
Work closely with site contractors to ensure successful site reinstatement and completion of bump-out activities.

Essential Skills & Experience

Strong organisational and time management skills.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
Ability to work calmly and effectively in a fast-paced environment.
Experience coordinating contractors, suppliers, and event personnel.
Sound understanding of event operations, site management, and event safety practices.

Desirable
