About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to start your career in the live events and production industry, gaining hands-on experience with professional equipment and technology. As a Live Event Technician Apprentice at Colonel Tom, you’ll work alongside experienced industry professionals to prepare, test, maintain and manage technical equipment for live projects. The role will initially have a strong warehouse and equipment focus, helping you build the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to understand how equipment is prepared, maintained and deployed. You’ll gain experience with professional LED screen technology while developing a wider understanding of live event production. Key responsibilities include preparing and de-prepping technical equipment, testing LED screen tiles, carrying out basic maintenance, fault finding and repairs, checking and organising equipment, processing and managing company assets, loading and unloading equipment, packing equipment safely, maintaining a clean warehouse environment, supporting project preparation, and collaborating with project teams. You will also follow health and safety procedures and develop your technical knowledge. Alongside your warehouse responsibilities, you’ll have opportunities to see how equipment is used within real live event environments. Working with Project Managers and experienced technical teams, you’ll develop practical industry experience. As your skills progress, this may include supporting the installation, operation, troubleshooting and de-rigging of equipment on live projects.
