  • Collaborate with internal departments to advance shows, confirm specs, and finalize production plans.

  • Maintain and ensure the quality and readiness of all production gear

  • Other duties as assigned



What Experience/Skills Do You Need? 



  • 2+ years of experience in live event production, with a strong background in audio, video, lighting, and staging. This includes proficiency in operating and troubleshooting mixing consoles, projectors, LED walls, lighting consoles, wireless systems, comms, etc.  Relevant education/certifications and/or other equivalent work experience may be considered.

  • Prior experience working effectively as a team leader and directing the work of others

  • Ability to read and interpret tech riders, CAD drawings, floor plans, and signal flow diagrams.

  • Familiar with power distribution, rigging safety, general event logistics, and workplace safety requirements.

  • Ability to quickly process information and meet deadlines

  • Must be able to work overtime, evenings, weekends, and local travel as needed.



What is the work environment like?

Work requires the ability to lift and move objects weighing up to fifty (50) pounds on a daily basis.  Will work in non-traditional venues (tents, raw spaces, outdoor locations, etc.).  Will periodically work in non-climate-controlled environments.



The best way to describe the team is that we have an "entrepreneurial" spirit. We love challenges, embrace change, are self-motivated and will quickly pivot to help where needed. This position does require reporting daily our Thomasville, GA office.
