Job description

As Production Manager, you'll help make every performance sing. You'll plan and deliver events, create technical plans, manage kit and crew, and keep things running smoothly from first idea to final applause.

You'll work with artists, promoters, colleagues and clients to make sure every event is safe, slick and special.

You’ll have hands‑on experience in live events or venue production, solid technical knowledge, and an eye for detail. You're organised, calm under pressure, and a natural team player. If you're just as happy to get stuck into the logistics as you are loading in a show, and you love seeing a plan come to life, this could be the gig for you.

We're a friendly, canny bunch who care about making music happen for everyone. You'll join a team that values creativity, collaboration and good humour and you'll play your part in one of the North East's most exciting cultural spaces.
