Technical Project Manager - Live Events & Conferences

South Manchester | Hybrid (3 days office, 2 days home)

Up to £48,000 | Lots of International travel

We're recruiting on behalf of our client, an international event production company.

Conferences and live event production is everything they do, delivered end to end as the trusted production partner to their clients, with a strong presence in healthcare and pharma, where events are high-touch, high-profile and delivered to an exacting standard.

The Role

  • Own technical delivery from brief to on-site delivery across live, virtual and hybrid events, including congresses, exhibitions and hybrid meetings, with conferences at the core
  • Act as the client's main point of contact throughout each project
  • Manage clients, suppliers and freelancers across multiple concurrent projects
  • Produce floor plans, technical schematics and risk assessments
  • Deliver events internationally: approximately 60 to 80 on-site days per year, mostly across Europe with some global travel. This is a role for someone who genuinely wants to be on the road

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Stepping Up?

If you've recently moved from a hands-on technical AV role into project management, or you're ready to make that leap, this client will consider you. The technical depth is the non-negotiable. They'll invest in developing the project management side for the right person.

Why This Role

  • Production is the whole business, not a department
  • Blue-chip clients in healthcare and pharma who treat them as a partner, not a supplier
  • International work across Europe and beyond
  • Hybrid working from a South Manchester base
  • Salary of up to £48,000 depending on experience
