Full job description

Company: Wildfire Experience Agency

Location: Sheffield HQ / On-Site Nationwide

Who We Are:

At Wildfire, we don’t just plan events; we build them. From 500-person conferences to high-stakes corporate team-building, we are the hardest-working production team in the room. We own 95% of our own kit, meaning we don’t just outsource the heavy lifting—we execute it ourselves. We are growing aggressively, and we need a Senior On-Site Event Manager who leads from the front, intercepts problems, and refuses to drop the ball.

The Role:

This is not a job for someone who wants to stand in the corner with a clipboard. You are the commander on the ground. When you are on-site, you are the absolute authority. You will lead the crew, manage the client, oversee the build and break, and ensure everything runs to the exact minute.

Key Responsibilities

● The Client Comes First: No matter what happens on site, the client's happiness and safety comes first at all times.

● Total Site Control: Lead the end-to-end live delivery of events, from loading the trucks at HQ to the final strike and client handover.

● Crew Leadership: Command teams of event staff and freelancers. Set the standard, enforce the rules, and do not accept half-finished work or poor attitudes.

● Problem Interception: Live events mean constant friction. You do not pass problems up the chain; you solve them on-site, manage the conflict, and inform the Directors of the outcome.

● Health & Safety Mastery: Enforce rigorous H&S standards, dynamic risk assessments, and crowd management without compromising the client experience.

● Operational Accountability: Maintain absolute discipline with company assets, vehicles, and on-site expenses (with full, immediate receipt reconciliation).

Who You Are

● A Hard Grafter: You have a minimum of 5 years of experience in live event production, rigging, or technical event management.

● A Fun & Passionate Individual: You enjoy what you do and have a love of the industry and work with a smile on your face.

● A Decision Maker: You do not shy away from conflict. Whether pushing back on a supplier or keeping unmanageable crew in line, you have a backbone.

● Commercially Aware: You understand that time is money, margins matter, and a fast, efficient break-down is just as important as the live show.

● Logistically Sharp: Full, clean driving license required. You know your way around a van and a warehouse just as well as a 5-star hotel ballroom.

Ability to commute/relocate:

Sheffield S8 9QQ: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Experience:

Event Management: 1 year (preferred)

Shift availability:

Day shift (required)
Night shift (required)
Overnight shift (required)

Willingness to travel:

50% (required)

To Apply Send your CV and a brief outline of previous events you have run.

Pay: From £28,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
