About MDM Props
MDM Props delivers bespoke fabrication, themed environments and immersive experiences for clients across entertainment, attractions, events and commercial sectors.
We're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the fabrication and technical delivery of complex projects.
The Role
Working alongside a Creative Project Manager, you'll be responsible for turning approved concepts into exceptional finished builds.
You'll lead workshop production, fabrication planning, technical coordination and installation, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget.
You'll work closely with draughting, workshop managers, subcontractors and production teams to coordinate every stage of delivery.
Every project at MDM Props is jointly led by a Technical and Creative Project Manager. While the Creative Project Manager leads the client relationship, creative development and commercial delivery, you'll take ownership of technical planning, fabrication, workshop production and installation. You'll work as an equal partner throughout the project, combining technical expertise with creative ambition to deliver exceptional results.
