1What this role really is

This isn't a desk job, frankly. You'll be the hands-on person on site, making sure the kit works and the show looks (and sounds) great. Think of yourself as the engine room for our events, getting everything plugged in, tested, and ready. It's often physically demanding, sometimes a bit chaotic, but you'll learn heaps about how live events actually come together from the ground up. You're essentially learning the ropes of technical production, supporting the more experienced team members to deliver brilliant experiences for our clients.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Google Sheets / Microsoft ExcelBasic

You'll use these to update simple checklists, track basic inventory movements, or input data for equipment fault logs.

Slack / Microsoft TeamsBasic

For team communication, receiving instructions, and giving quick updates to your supervisor.

Monday.com / Asana (or similar)Basic

Updating your assigned tasks, marking them as complete, and checking project timelines.

Basic AV Consoles (e.g., Yamaha QL/CL series, QLab)Basic

Under supervision, you might operate a simple audio mixer for a breakout room or trigger basic video cues for a presentation. This is about learning the buttons and basic functions.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Equipment Placement & SetupExecute specific instructions from supervisor; escalate any deviations or issues immediately.Independently place and set up standard equipment based on technical drawings; consult supervisor for complex or unusual placements.Design and approve equipment layouts; make on-the-fly adjustments to optimise performance and aesthetics.
Troubleshooting Technical IssuesIdentify basic faults (e.g., 'no power', 'loose cable'); report immediately to supervisor for diagnosis and resolution.Diagnose and resolve common technical issues (e.g., signal path problems, basic console errors) within defined parameters; escalate complex or critical issues.Diagnose and resolve complex, show-critical technical failures under pressure; develop and implement contingency plans.
Safety ProceduresStrictly follow all prescribed health and safety protocols; report any unsafe conditions or practices to supervisor.Ensure team adherence to safety protocols; identify and mitigate potential hazards within own work area.Develop and enforce site-specific safety plans; conduct risk assessments; lead safety briefings.
Client InteractionMinimal direct client interaction; refer any client questions or requests to supervisor.Answer basic technical questions from clients or account managers; manage minor client requests within scope.Act as primary technical point of contact for clients; manage expectations and propose solutions for technical challenges.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Task Completion Rate
The percentage of assigned setup or strike tasks you complete within the given timeframe.
Target · 95% of assigned tasks completed on time

If you're given 10 tasks for a breakout room setup (e.g., 'set up 2 speakers', 'run 4 mic cables'), we'd expect you to get 9 or 10 of those done without prompting or significant delay.

Equipment Accuracy & Readiness
How accurately you set up and test equipment, ensuring it's fully functional and ready for use.
Target · Fewer than 2 errors per event setup (e.g., mis-patched cable, uncharged battery)

You've set up a projector and screen. If the image is blurry or the remote isn't working because you missed a step, that's an error. We're looking for clean, working setups.

Load-in/Load-out Efficiency
How quickly and effectively you contribute to the physical setup and dismantling of event equipment, following established procedures.
Target · Meet or exceed average team times for common tasks (e.g., cable runs, truss assembly)

If the team typically takes 30 minutes to set up a small stage, your contribution should help hit that target, not hinder it. We're not timing you with a stopwatch, but we do notice if you're consistently slower than others.

Adherence to Safety Protocols
Consistently following all health and safety guidelines on site, from manual handling to electrical safety.
  • You're always wearing appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), you ask questions if you're unsure about a lifting technique, and you report any potential hazards you spot. No shortcuts, basically.
Proactive Learning & Initiative
Showing a genuine eagerness to learn new skills, asking thoughtful questions, and taking initiative on tasks once you've been shown how.
  • You're asking 'why' we do things a certain way, you're observing senior colleagues, and once you've been taught a task, you're able to do it again next time with less supervision. You might even spot something that needs doing and just get on with it, after checking it's okay, of course.
Teamwork & Communication
Working effectively with your colleagues, communicating clearly on comms (radio), and being a reliable member of the crew.
  • You're responsive on the comms, you offer to help others when your tasks are done, and you give a heads-up if you're running into a problem or need a hand. Basically, you're not a lone wolf
  • you're part of the pack.
Equipment Care & Organisation
Handling all equipment with care, keeping your workspace tidy, and ensuring gear is returned correctly.
  • You're coiling cables properly, not just bundling them. You're wiping down equipment before packing. You're making sure all accessories go back with the right kit. It's about respecting the tools of our trade, really.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Hands-on Creation

You love the feeling of physically building something, seeing an empty space transform, and making technology work. You get a buzz from coiling a cable perfectly or seeing a projector fire up for the first time on site.

You're the person who actually enjoys the physical process of setting up a sound system, not just the idea of it. You like getting stuck in.

Learning & Skill Acquisition

You're genuinely excited to learn how all the complex event technology works. You ask questions, watch senior technicians, and enjoy picking up new skills daily.

You'll spend your breaks asking about signal flow or how a media server works, rather than just scrolling on your phone. You're a sponge for knowledge.

Team Collaboration

You enjoy being part of a close-knit crew, working together to achieve a common goal. The camaraderie on site, especially during a busy load-in, is something you value.

You're quick to offer a hand to a colleague who's struggling with a heavy case, or you're happy to jump on comms to relay a message for the team.

What frustrates people
  • The sheer physical exhaustion after an 18-hour day, only to do it again tomorrow.
  • Doing the same repetitive tasks (like cable coiling) over and over again.
  • Not understanding why something is done a certain way, but having to do it anyway.
  • Dealing with kit that's been damaged or badly packed by the previous crew.
  • The client or account manager making a last-minute change that means you have to re-do a significant chunk of your work.
What this role does not give you
  • A regular 9-5 schedule; event hours are notoriously unpredictable.
  • Significant creative input or strategic decision-making at this stage.
  • A quiet, calm office environment; it's often noisy, busy, and on-site.
  • Instant gratification; many tasks are foundational and not immediately visible to the end-user.

6Who you work with

Your work is pretty fundamental, actually. You're the one making sure the technical foundation of an event is solid. If you get the basics right, the whole show runs smoother, and the more senior team can focus on the complex stuff. Mess up a basic setup, and it can cause delays, cost money, and frankly, make us look a bit daft to the client. So, while it's entry-level, your contribution is genuinely important for the overall success of our events.

Inside the business
  • Technical Coordinator (your direct boss, usually)
  • Senior Technical Production Managers (who you'll support on bigger projects)
  • Warehouse Team (who you'll work with for equipment prep and returns)
  • Project Managers (who set the overall event brief, though you'll mostly interact through your tech lead)
Outside the business
  • Venue Staff (for power, rigging points, and general logistics)
  • Delivery Drivers (for getting kit to and from site)
  • Freelance Crew (who you'll work alongside during load-in/out)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A strong work ethic and a willingness to get stuck in, even with physically demanding tasks.
  • Basic literacy and numeracy skills for reading instructions and counting equipment.
  • A full, clean UK driving licence (or equivalent) is highly desirable, as you'll often be travelling to sites.
  • An interest in technology and how things work, especially audio, video, or lighting equipment.
  • The ability to work flexible and often long hours, including evenings and weekends, as event schedules demand.
  • Experience in a hands-on, practical role, even if not directly in events (e.g., warehouse work, construction, theatre tech).

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Cable Management & Signal Path Optimisation

As events get more complex, the sheer volume of cables and signals increases. You'll need to move beyond just neat coiling to understanding how to route cables efficiently, prevent interference, and build redundancy into your signal paths.

Cable types and their specific uses (e.g., XLR, HD · Ground loops and how to avoid them · Signal splitters, converters, and distribution amp · Basic fault finding within a signal chain · Redundancy strategies (e.g., backup cables, parall

  • This week: Pay close attention to how senior techs route cables for complex setups.
  • This month: Ask to be shown a full signal flow diagram for a small event and trace it physically.
  • Month 2: Practice identifying different cable types and their connectors by sight.
  • Month 3: Research common signal interference issues (e.g., hums, buzzes) and how to prevent them.

Quick win: Always coil cables properly. It's the first step to understanding signal integrity and prolongs the life of our gear.

Basic Media Server Operation & Content Management

Video content is central to almost every event. You'll need to move beyond just playing a PowerPoint to understanding how media servers manage and output complex visuals, even if you're just loading content or triggering simple cues.

What a media server does (e.g., Resolume, QLab) · Different video file formats and codecs · Basic content loading and playback procedures · Understanding screen resolutions and aspect ratios · The concept of layers and effects within a media s

  • This week: Ask to sit in with a video operator during a show or rehearsal.
  • This month: Get some hands-on time with QLab or Resolume in the warehouse if possible, just loading content.
  • Month 2: Understand the difference between 1080p and 4K resolutions.
  • Month 3: Learn how to correctly format video content for different screen sizes.

Quick win: Ask to be shown how to load a simple video into QLab and play it back. It's a fundamental skill you'll use a lot.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Shadowing experienced technicians on site and in the warehouse to learn best practices.
  • Taking advantage of internal training sessions on new equipment or specific technical skills.
  • Attending industry trade shows (like PLASA Show or ISE) to see new technology and network.
  • Completing online courses or tutorials on basic audio, video, or lighting principles (e.g., from LinkedIn Learning, manufacturer training portals).
  • Getting involved in local theatre groups or community events to gain more hands-on experience in a low-pressure environment.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Digital Workflow Understanding

More and more event tech is becoming networked and software-driven. Even simple tasks now involve IP addresses, cloud-based documents, and digital asset management. Understanding how these digital workflows fit together is becoming crucial, even if you're just plugging in a network cable.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Production Assistant / AV Technician is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Even at an entry level, AI isn't just for the senior folks. It's quickly becoming a smart assistant that can take some of the tedious, time-consuming tasks off your plate, letting you focus more on the hands-on learning and less on the admin. Think of it as having a super-organised colleague who never sleeps.

In Events Experiential Marketing, AI is starting to make a real difference, even for those just starting out. It can help you get up to speed faster, understand complex information more easily, and generally make your day-to-day work a bit smoother. We're talking about tools that help you learn, plan, and even troubleshoot quicker.

Smart Task Schedulers

Use AI-powered tools to help organise your daily tasks and personal inventory lists. Input what you need to do, and the AI can suggest the most efficient order, factoring in equipment location and dependencies. It's like having a personal assistant for your load-in plan, making sure you don't miss a step.

AI-Assisted Learning

Struggling to understand a complex technical manual or a new piece of gear? Use an AI chatbot to summarise key concepts, explain jargon, or even walk you through troubleshooting steps for common equipment. It's a quick way to get answers without always having to ask your supervisor.

Rapid Equipment Identification

Ever seen a piece of kit and not known what it is? Snap a photo, and an AI tool can help identify the equipment, its basic function, and even link you to a quick start guide. This is brilliant for getting familiar with our vast inventory faster.

Basic Report Drafting

When you need to log equipment faults or write a simple post-event summary, AI can help you draft the initial text. Just give it the key points, and it'll structure it into a clear, concise report, saving you time and making sure nothing important is missed.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Production Assistant / AV Technician, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Production Assistant / AV Technician: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Other roles in Events Experiential Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in technical production are highly transferable across the wider entertainment and media industries. You could move into broadcast production, theatre, concert touring, permanent installation AV, or even roles in AV equipment sales and rental. The core understanding of technical systems and live show dynamics is valuable everywhere.
