Job description

ENGLISHWe're looking for a Technical Producer who safeguards and develops the technical DNA of our productions. Someone who translates complex artistic and production plans into technically feasible and executable productions — and who builds a scalable technical standard that grows with us.

As a Technical Producer you are responsible for everything technical: technical drawings, riders, AV, rigging and power.

About us

Making Waves is an ambitious events organisation active in the dance and theatre sectors. With brands like Cinema in Concert, ZeeZout, By the Creek and Ohm Festival, we produce a wide variety of live events: from film concerts in Het Concertgebouw and large-scale concerts in Rotterdam Ahoy to unique festivals, club nights and distinctive cross-over events.

From Amsterdam we create unforgettable experiences. We develop and produce our events fully in-house: from concept and production to marketing and bookings. Driven by quality, creativity and a distinctive audience experience.

About the role

As a Technical Producer you are the technical heart of Making Waves. You translate artistic and production plans into concrete technical execution: from festival site plan to stage plot, and from rigging plan to power plan.

You are the continuous technical bridge — the one who ensures technical standards, supplier relationships and production quality remain consistent across all events. Together with four colleagues, you form the production team responsible for producing all of our own events, from festivals to concerts.

What will you do?

• Create 2D and 3D drawings in Vectorworks (or comparable software) for all our productions
• Build and safeguard technical riders (audio, video, lighting, rigging, power)
• Match venue riders to our production requirements, identify bottlenecks and resolve them
• Contribute to the technical strategy and standardisation across labels
• Capture technical lessons learned and translate them into templates and processes
• Guide and coach colleagues in developing technical drawings

What do you bring?

• 5+ years of experience as a Technical Producer or similar role in events / concerts / theatre / festivals
• Required: fluent in Vectorworks or SCAD Re-Event in both 2D and 3D for site plans and drawings
• In-depth AV knowledge
• Stress-resistant, solution-oriented and flexible
• Flexible in working hours and willing to travel
• Holder of a driver's license (category B)
• Based in or around Amsterdam

What do we offer

• A key role within a growing and ambitious team
• Working on unique (inter)national productions of high quality and impact
• A great deal of independence and room for initiative
• A close-knit, professional and driven team
• Market-competitive employment conditions

Application process

We'll get back to you quickly after your application.
The process consists of at least two interviews, in which we'd like to get to know you and dive deeper into your experience and vision.

If there's a good match, we may invite you to come along to one of our productions, so you get a direct sense of the role and working environment.

Good to know

You work in an environment with clear peak moments around events. That requires flexibility, but also brings a lot of energy and visible results.
