Associate Technical Designer

We’re looking for an Associate Lighting Designer to join our busy Creative team.

Our team of designers, producers, and technicians deliver end-to-end entertainment architecture for concert touring, special events, light artworks, broadcasts, and immersive experiences. We light entire cityscapes and bridges, immerse people in stunning visual environments, take to the world’s largest stadiums and arenas with concert tours, and create one-of-a-kind experiential entertainment activations.

The Associate Technical Designer will assist in the development, execution, installation and maintenance of projects across the Mandylights group of companies. It is a hybrid role, working between technical and creative tasks.

Reporting to the Technical Design team, the Associate Technical Designer will work with Mandylights’ technical design team to facilitate and execute technical and pre-production tasks, in addition to providing assistance, where required on-site with the installation and successful operation of project elements as required.

The role will also fulfil a more traditional “associate” role, aiding company technical and creative designers in the mechanics of lighting design, while requiring the employee to learn, adopt and ensure that the designer’s creative vision is always maintained to a world-class standard. As such, the role may be exposed to board operation, including programming consoles and onsite operation for live shows as well as pre-production and pitch tasks such as creating plots, paperwork, renders and pre-visualisation assets.
This role requires a passion for autonomous learning and up-skilling, finding innovative solutions and communicating with the wider teams.

Our ideal candidate will understand how events and production environments work, have an understanding of industry-standard pre-visualisation systems and drawing boards as well as be highly organised, the ability to manage last minute changes and the ability to work autonomously.

You'll be creative at heart, able to build strong relationships and be “tech savvy”.
In return, we'll provide a competitive rate, a role where no two days will be the same, a great team, and exposure to a fun and engaging work environment.

If this sounds like the perfect next role for you, we want to hear from you.
