About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Scenic Project Manager Live Events to take ownership of our most complex and high-profile scenic productions.
You will lead the delivery of ambitious scenic and staging builds across prestigious live events, ensuring excellence is delivered in every detail—from concept through to on-site execution.
With a strong background in scenic construction and project delivery (typically 6+ years within live events), you will combine technical expertise with creative thinking and commercial awareness to bring exceptional environments to life.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also play a key leadership role within the scenic team, supporting, guiding, and developing others while ensuring our values of creativity, passion, and excellence are reflected in every project.
What You’ll Bring
You’ll have deep expertise in scenic construction and be confident producing technical drawings using AutoCAD (or equivalent software) to create accurate, buildable design documentation.
You will be highly experienced in:
- Scenic construction methods, materials, and finishes
- Producing detailed project documentation and build information
- Managing budgets, logistics, and accurate quoting
- Interpreting client needs and translating them into practical and creative solutions
On site, you will confidently lead venue transformations, coordinating internal teams and external suppliers to ensure seamless delivery and exceptional finishes.
You’ll be a strong communicator who can build trusted relationships with clients, quickly understand their objectives, and respond with insight, creativity, and commercial awareness.
A full driving licence and access to a vehicle would be advantageous, but is not essential.
