The Company

This is a specialist supplier of temporary and demountable steel structures, designing and fabricating bespoke builds for the premium end of live events and sport. The work is construction-grade in complexity and high-profile in profile, with a roster of blue-chip clients across Europe and beyond. The permanent team is boutique, scaling with a strong freelance network across peak season. The culture is flat, technically rigorous and genuinely ambitious.

The Role

The Event Operations Manager sits at the senior end of the project management team, taking full commercial and operational ownership of multiple simultaneous builds, with a clear opportunity to develop two junior project managers as the business scales.

• End-to-end delivery of large touring activations and bespoke temporary structure builds
• Managing international project logistics, scheduling and on-site operations
