Who We Are:

Bluewater Technologies Group, Inc., founded in 1985, is the only woman-owned business of its kind, bringing together multiple industry-leading teams under one roof. Our mission is simple: unlock the potential of spaces. That potential might mean helping organizations communicate more clearly, operate more efficiently, or even monetize their environments in new ways. From large-scale events and brand activations to workplace environments and permanent installations, we transform spaces into places that connect, inspire, and perform.

At Bluewater, you’ll find planners, makers, and innovators working side by side—blending creativity, technology, and strategy to deliver experiences that matter. Rooted in our EPIC values (Excellence, Passion, Integrity, Collaboration— and Fun!), we’re driven by a shared purpose: to make people smile.

Role

Summary:

As a technician at Bluewater, the primary goal is to move a project successfully from the pre-production phase, to show site, and through post-production efforts. This requires strong cross-departmental communication, collaboration, technical execution, and problem solving.

The Audio Technician – Live Events plays a key role in delivering exceptional audio experiences across a wide variety of live events and experiential productions. Bluewater’s work extends beyond traditional meetings and ballroom environments and may include corporate events, general sessions, entertainment, concerts, trade shows, exhibits, outdoor events, branded experiences, mobile tours, and custom experiential activations.

The Audio Technician’s primary technical discipline is audio, with responsibility for the preparation, setup, operation, tuning, troubleshooting, and strike of professional audio systems. Depending on the size and complexity of the production, the technician may work independently or under the direction of an Audio Engineer, Lead Technician, or Production Manager.

While this position specializes in audio, Bluewater’s technical staff operates as one technical team
. Technicians are expected to work collaboratively across technical disciplines and assist Audio, Video, Lighting, LED, Scenic, Rigging, and other production teams as needed to successfully execute the overall project. Success in this role requires a team-first mindset, adaptability, strong technical fundamentals, and a willingness to step outside of one’s primary discipline when the needs of the project require it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review project documentation, equipment lists, system diagrams, schedules, and other production information to understand project requirements.
• Prepare, test, configure, and pack audio equipment including microphones, wireless systems, loudspeakers, mixing consoles, intercom systems, playback equipment, cabling, and signal processing equipment.
• Verify equipment functionality and completeness prior to departure for show site.
• Assist with equipment preparation, staging, loading, and unloading at Bluewater facilities and event locations.
• Identify equipment issues, shortages, or potential technical concerns and communicate them to the appropriate project or department leadership.
• Participate in pre-production testing, system builds, rehearsals, and other preparation activities as required.

On-Site Setup & Execution

• Install and position PA systems, monitors, microphones, wireless systems, communications systems, playback equipment, consoles, cabling, and related audio infrastructure according to production requirements.
• Assist with front-of-house and monitor setups, system tuning, console patching, signal distribution, and system testing.
• Operate live sound reinforcement systems during rehearsals, presentations, performances, activations, and live events as assigned.
• Support RF coordination, frequency scanning, deployment, and monitoring of wireless microphone and communication systems.
• Monitor system performance and sound…
