Production Technician

Events By Design is a full‑service event production company turning visions into unforgettable experiences. From AV, lighting, and décor to staging and fabrication, we bring complex events to life with precision and creativity—and it all starts with a skilled production team.

Our Core Production Technicians are the architects of the event environment. Unlike our elective-schedule pool, you are a foundational member of our team. You aren’t just "filling a shift" - you are taking ownership of the gear, the shop, and the flawless execution of our high-end designs from concept to strike.

This role is for the professional who values a consistent team dynamic, deep familiarity with our inventory, and the opportunity to lead on-site. You will work directly with our Management and Design teams to ensure every event is a masterpiece.

Key Responsibilities

• Load and unload trucks safely and efficiently while ensuring equipment is properly secured
• Assist with and lead event installations, including audio, video, lighting, staging, décor, scenic elements, and custom event environments
• Operate live events, including audio consoles, video systems, livestreaming equipment, lighting control systems, and related production technology
• Support power distribution, signal flow, and production infrastructure while following all safety standards
• Perform scenic finishing work, including vinyl application, touch-ups, furniture repair, painting, and minor fabrication as needed
• Maintain warehouse organization, inventory accuracy, equipment maintenance, and quality control standards
• Provide guidance and support to part-time event staff during load-ins, event execution, and strikes
• Interact professionally with clients, venue staff, vendors, and team members while representing Events By Design
• Follow direction from Project Managers, Team Leads, and Production Leadership while taking ownership of assigned responsibilities
• Support multiple Events By Design brands and event types as needed
• Ensure all work is completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with company and OSHA standards
