COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Flash Pack is a London-based technical production company creating photo, video and experiential capture systems for events, brand activations and permanent installations. Our events and installations take place all over the world. We've delivered work for countless global brands including Google, Apple, Nike, Samsung, Netflix and Burberry, spanning everything from one-off event technology to permanent installations.
We're a London-based studio, but our installations and activations show up everywhere from Bognor Regis to New York, and this role will involve both UK and international travel.

Each project brings technicians together with our developers, fabricators, producers and designers to turn creative ideas into technical reality – it's a small, hands-on team where the work is varied and your technical judgement genuinely shapes how things get built.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This is a hands-on technical role supporting the delivery, maintenance and development of photo, video and experiential capture systems – including the permanent installations that underpin our growing recurring-revenue business.

The role combines senior technical knowledge and project support with responsibility for the technical workshop, equipment management and purchasing.

Reporting into the Senior Technical Production Manager, you will act as a senior technical point of contact for the wider team, supporting other technicians with preparation, fault-finding and project delivery. You'll work closely with our developers, fabricators, producers and designers to turn creative ideas into technical reality, from first concept through to a fully installed, running system.

The role is primarily office and workshop based, with regular site work in London and occasional UK and international travel.
