About the Role

avad3 Event Production is looking for an experienced Senior Event Production Tech to join our team.

Execute load‑ins, show operation, and strikes, serving as a lead technician on‑site as needed.

Operate and troubleshoot gear across audio, video, lighting and staging disciplines.

Maintain equipment and report necessary repairs or replacements proactively.

Coordinate with production managers to ensure tech plans align with client expectations and production goals.
