We’re looking for a talented Sound & Lighting Engineer to join our team and help bring ambitious creative ideas to life. This role is about more than just running cables and mixing levels – it’s about using light and sound as storytelling tools to create unforgettable experiences.

What you’ll do:

  • Collaborate with our creative team to design and deliver immersive light and sound installations.

  • Engineer and operate audio/lighting systems for live events, activations, and permanent installations.

  • Stay ahead of industry trends, suggesting new tools, tech, and techniques.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in sound and/or lighting engineering for events, theatre, live music, or installations.

  • Strong technical knowledge of audio consoles, lighting rigs, DMX programming, projection, and playback systems.

  • A creative mind that sees light and sound as art forms, not just technical tasks.

  • Problem-solver who thrives under pressure and adapts quickly in live environments.

  • A collaborator who enjoys turning ideas into reality with a team.

Why join us?

  • Work on high-profile, boundary-pushing creative projects.

  • Be part of a team known for transforming spaces into destinations.

  • Freedom to experiment and innovate with the latest sound & lighting tech.

  • Competitive pay, exciting projects, and opportunities to grow with us.
