Freelance Event Production Manager – available now

A Production Manager is the person responsible for the technical and logistical delivery of your event. They oversee equipment, crew and schedules, making sure the production is delivered safely, on budget and on time.

They’re the planners who turn creative ideas into workable, real-world solutions.

What They Do

Production Managers scope out technical requirements, source suppliers, and manage AV equipment. They create production schedules, plan load-ins and load-outs, and ensure health and safety regulations are met.

During the event, they oversee the technical crew, troubleshoot issues, and ensure everything from sound checks to stage builds are completed as planned. They’re often the link between the technical team and the client, translating creative vision into practical delivery.

Skills They Bring

  • Technical knowledge – understanding AV, staging and logistics
  • Leadership – managing crew and suppliers effectively
  • Organisation – planning schedules, budgets and delivery
  • Problem-solving – keeping the show on track when challenges arise
