Overview

We’re Hiring: Technical Project Manager

Make the extraordinary, everlasting - with us.

At EC, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression – not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life. We’re collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality – all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you’re curious, adaptable and excited to do meaningful work with a team that’s got your back, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

EC have an opportunity for a multi-disciplinary Technical Project Manager to join our team. In this role, reporting into our Head of Production, you’ll organise the technical delivery of projects. Using technical creativity skills, you will be responsible for ensuring the projects you are working on are quoted, specified, and delivered on budget and on time. Always working with teams, you are an integral part of the event process, lending experience and knowledge throughout the event cycle. You would be based in our London office and deliver in some of the most iconic venues in London, as well as across the rest of the UK and sometimes abroad. So, if you are an engineer looking to step up or a seasoned professional wanting a new challenge, then this exciting role could be for you.

Who are you?

• You have good verbal and written communication skills and can communicate effectively with internal stakeholders and clients.
• You have an awareness of the role of health and safety in the industry, such as risk assessments and advocating for best working practices on site.

You don’t have to tick every box - we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.
