Kudos AV produces conferences, award ceremonies, brand activations, exhibitions and private events across London and the UK, around 500 a year, from our base in Uxbridge. The core team is full time; when a build needs more hands we book freelancers we know, and the people who do good work get booked again and again.
Signing up takes two minutes: three details now, then an onboarding form where you tell us what you do, your tickets and your rates. Once you are on the register, our bookings board can put you straight on jobs. Day rates are agreed before you are booked, and we pay promptly on invoice.
For production management that means taking a planned show and delivering it: owning the site, the schedule, the crew and the client on the day, with our office behind you and the kit list already fought over.
What you will do
- Site manage load ins, show days and de-rigs against the production schedule.
- Run crews across sound, lighting, video, staging and scenic.
- Hold the client relationship on site and make calls when the plan meets the venue.
- Close out shows properly: paperwork, damages, lessons and thanks.
What we are looking for
- Several years running live event production, with shows of real scale to your name.
- Fluent across the technical departments; you do not need the desk explained.
- Calm authority with crews, venues and clients.
- Able to run events across London and the UK.
Useful but not essential
- IOSH or similar safety qualification and your own PLI.
- Vectorworks literacy, enough to read and mark up a plan.
- A full UK driving licence.
