- Working from client briefs to help specify AV requirements, equipment, and crew
- Producing floor plans and technical schematics

- Leading or supporting technical crews on-site, including freelancers and third-party suppliers
- Acting as a technical point of contact for clients, venues, suppliers, and internal project teams
- Carrying out site visits
- Supporting smooth on-site delivery and troubleshooting issues
