• Confidence operating in fast‑paced, live environments and making safety‑critical decisions under pressure
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage technicians, production teams and external stakeholders

• Willing and able to travel regularly to sites, venues and events across the UK and internationally

Desirable Qualifications

• IOSH or IIRSM membership (or working towards)
• Experience producing event‑specific H&S documentation for live shows, touring or special effects
• Knowledge of pyrotechnics, SFX or live production environments

What We Offer
