Project Manager (Lighting)

Colour Sound Experiment has spent over 36 years at the forefront of creative, immersive lighting, supplying equipment and crew to live events worldwide.

Throughout that time, we have continued to invest in new technologies and expand into new territories, while remaining proudly independent. This allows us to stay agile, maintain our standards, and preserve the ethos that has built long-standing relationships with both our clients and our teams.

With established operations across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, our US business has become a key part of our global offering. From our offices in the San Fernando Valley, California, we support a wide range of touring, festival, and event clients across North America, working closely with our international teams to deliver consistently high standards.

We are continuing to grow our US operation and are looking to build a strong, experienced team with regional knowledge, a proactive mindset, and a genuine passion for live events.
