We are looking for an experienced and highly organized AV Event Production Coordinator to support a well-established, full-service AV and event production company based in Dallas, Texas.

Once an event is sold, you will help take ownership of the operational details needed to get it show-ready. You will coordinate clients, AV crews, vendors, equipment, schedules, technical requirements, and outstanding information so the production team is prepared well before event day.

You have real experience working in AV, live events, or event production.

You understand common AV terminology, equipment, crews, and production workflows.

You can read and understand event plans, floor plans, technical drawings, or production blueprints.

You understand how technical requirements translate into equipment, labor, scheduling, and event logistics.

You are exceptionally organized and can manage multiple productions and deadlines simultaneously.

You think ahead and work backward from event dates rather than waiting for something to become urgent.

You are politely persistent and comfortable following up until you get the information or confirmation you need.

You communicate confidently with clients, technicians, vendors, warehouse teams, and production professionals.

You stay calm and resourceful when production plans change.

You take ownership and make progress without constant supervision.

You enjoy turning processes that live in someone's head into clear, repeatable systems.

You close loops and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

On your first interview, mention which SCORE value you most align with at the end of the interview for huge bonus points.

Take ownership of confirmed events as they transition from sales into production.

Review event information, technical requirements, plans, schedules, labor needs, equipment requirements, and outstanding decisions.

Read and interpret event plans, floor plans, technical drawings, or production blueprints to support event coordination.

Identify missing technical or operational information and proactively obtain it from clients, sales, vendors, or production teams.

Coordinate and book AV technicians, crew members, freelancers, and 1099 contractors.

Coordinate with warehouse and production teams to ensure required AV equipment is prepared, packed, and ready for each show.

Maintain clear operational plans, timelines, and checklists for upcoming productions.

Coordinate event schedules, crew calls, pickups, vendors, and other production logistics.

Communicate directly with clients regarding outstanding event details and requirements.

Maintain visibility across multiple upcoming events and proactively flag risks, delays, or missing information.

Manage event-related communication, follow-ups, documentation, and administrative tasks.

Support contractor hour tracking, payroll information, and payment coordination.

Document recurring workflows and help build clear SOPs and production processes.

Complete post-event follow-up and ensure outstanding items are closed.

3+ years of professional experience in AV production, live event production, AV event operations, or a closely related field.

Professional experience working with audiovisual equipment and AV production workflows.

Ability to read and understand event plans, floor plans, technical drawings, or production blueprints.

Working knowledge of common AV equipment, terminology, and production requirements.

Experience coordinating AV technicians, production crews, freelancers, or event labor.

Experience coordinating equipment, vendors, schedules, and event logistics.

Ability to review event information and identify missing technical or operational details.
