Temporary Full-Time | Touring | Creating Extraordinary Live Experiences About the Role
Our team creates unforgettable live experiences enjoyed by audiences around the world. We are looking for a Touring Production Manager to join us from late April through May, and then again from late July through September, leading the on‑ground execution of an outdoor concert and drone show across multiple European cities.
This role is integral to delivering a consistent, safe, and exceptional show every time we open our gates. The Touring Production Manager will own the onsite execution of each event location—from load‑in, to operations, to load‑out—ensuring that every detail aligns with our quality standards and guest experience expectations.
What You’ll Do Advance & Pre‑Production- Work with the Lead Producer to hand off the advance with venues, production vendors, local authorities, and internal teams.
- Consult with internal stakeholders providing feedback on technical and operational needs to ensure seamless execution.
- Review technical drawings, site plans, and venue specs to confirm feasibility and optimize execution.
- Build detailed production schedules covering load‑in, tech, rehearsals, show operations, and load‑out.
- Plan staffing, trailer movement, and logistics tailored to each market.
- Work with the drones team to align with their tech departments.
- Serve as the primary production lead onsite, overseeing local vendors and operational components during load‑in, rehearsals, show runs and load‑out.
- Supervise local crew and FOH teams, fostering a positive and efficient on‑site culture.
- Work with the Lead Regional Producer on city‑specific permitting, compliance, and documentation requirements, including onsite visits to the permitting office if necessary.
- Ensure way finding, signage, and guest‑facing operational elements are accurate, clear, and efficiently positioned to support smooth audience movement.
- Support onsite merchandising operations by coordinating space needs, guest flow, and operational readiness.
- Coordinate onsite inspections with fire marshals, electricians, and other local officials.
- Ensure the safe execution of all activities through adherence to company safety guidelines and local regulations.
- Troubleshoot issues in real time, making informed decisions to maintain show quality and continuity.
- Be the primary liaison for the venue, contractors, and internal stakeholders across departments.
- Manage equipment inventories, maintenance plans, and weatherization needs across all markets.
- Oversee transportation logistics, including shipping, trucking, and packing standards throughout the tour.
- Coordinate travel, lodging, and daily workflows for yourself.
- Track expenses, manage budgets, and elevate any variances to stakeholders.
- Produce post‑city evaluations to refine processes and elevate future performance.
- Serve as the consistent bridge between on‑site execution and the Fever office support teams.
- 5+ years in touring production, technical direction, live events, or similar, outdoor event experience preferred.
- Professional fluency in English. Knowledge of other European languages is a significant asset.
- Proven ability to lead teams in dynamic environments, manage multiple priorities, and operate under tight timelines.
- Strong understanding of event production fundamentals, including lighting, power, sound, rigging, safety, and onsite operations.
- Experience interpreting technical drawings and translating them into actionable onsite plans.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage relationships with clarity and professionalism.
- Comfortable traveling full‑time late April‑May and late July–September, and working in an outdoor environment.
- Calm under pressure, proactive, and highly organized, with the ability to anticipate challenges.
- Valid driver’s license; experience driving forklifts, vans or small trucks is a plus.
- You’ll travel the country delivering experiences that inspire and delight thousands of guests.
- You’ll join a collaborative, creative,…
