• Plan technical requirements for each show, including equipment, staffing, and scheduling
• Liaise with artists, tour managers, and production teams on technical riders and requirements
• Oversee load-in, setup, sound checks, live show execution, and load-out/strike
• Maintain, inspect, and manage all technical equipment (sound systems, lighting rigs, staging, cabling, etc.)
• Manage equipment inventory, repairs, upgrades, and vendor/rental relationships
• Ensure all technical operations comply with safety standards and venue regulations
• Troubleshoot technical issues quickly and calmly during live events
• Manage technical budgets and control equipment/production costs
• Train, schedule, and supervise technical staff and freelance crew

What We're Looking For

• 3-5+ years of experience in technical production, stage management, or live event operations
• Strong working knowledge of sound systems, lighting, rigging, and stage equipment
• Proven leadership experience managing a technical crew
• Ability to read and interpret technical riders and stage plots
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to stay calm under pressure during live shows
• Solid understanding of health and safety standards for live events
• Comfortable working nights/weekends around show schedules
• Excellent organizational and communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience working with touring artists, agents, or production companies
• Budget management experience
