Create paperwork, including risk assessments, site plans, and crew instructions
Produce orders and detailed packing lists for each show
Supervise a small team picking, packing, and loading fireworks
Manage hire vans, including booking, collection, and return
Organise and brief display crews ahead of events
Liaise with suppliers, crew, and internal teams to keep everything running smoothly
Keep accurate stock, vehicle, and logistics records
Ensure all work meets strict health and safety standards

About You

Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Confident leading a small team
Able to work to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Comfortable with practical, hands-on work
A full UK driving licence is essential

Why Join Us?

Be part of delivering breathtaking events seen by thousands
Friendly, supportive team environment
Opportunities to grow your skills in a unique and exciting industry
