Technical Production Coordinator
Role Overview
This is a pivotal role within Redblu Graphics & Displays, bridging the gap between design and build. You’ll take ownership of the technical production process end-to-end, ensuring every project leaves with accurate drawings, correct components, and fully prepared build teams.

This role is ideal for someone detail-driven who takes pride in getting things right before they reach site, with the opportunity to grow into full ownership of technical delivery.
