The posting

We are a global video, rigging and lighting service provider with multiple locations across the UK and the US. We bring unrivalled service and technical know-how to every project we deliver, supporting exhibitions, concerts, touring, conferences, theatre, TV, film and retail.

We are seeking an AV Draftsperson to join our UK team and play a key role in the planning and delivery of our projects worldwide. This is a technical and detail focused role, responsible for producing accurate technical drawings, equipment layouts and plans to support the successful delivery of live events and AV installations.

Working closely with Project Managers and technical teams, you will translate project briefs and technical requirements into clear, practical drawings, ensuring that equipment layouts, rigging plans and installation drawings meet project specifications and can be delivered safely and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Produce accurate technical drawings and layouts using Vectorworks for AV installations and live events, including lighting, video, audio, rigging and associated equipment. Prepare floor plans, equipment layouts, elevations, sections and other technical drawings based on client briefs, project specifications, venue plans and site measurements. Interpret technical information and translate project requirements into clear, practical drawings to support project planning and installation. Check drawings for accuracy, consistency and practical application, identifying potential issues or discrepancies before installation. Work closely with Project Managers and technical teams to understand project requirements, coordinate priorities and deliver drawings are completed within agreed deadlines. Liaise with internal departments and other stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve queries and ensure drawings meet project needs. Attend project meetings and site visits where required to gather information, verify measurements and support drawing development. Update drawings to reflect changes in project scope, equipment requirements, venue layouts and installation plans, ensuring revisions are clearly identified and current versions are shared with relevant teams. Support the preparation of equipment lists, technical schedules and other project documentation where required. Manage workload effectively, respond to changing priorities and identify opportunities to improve drawing processes and efficiency.

About you

Extensive experience using Vectorworks to produce accurate, detailed and technically robust drawings.

Good understanding of technical drawings, equipment layouts and the practical requirements of AV installations and live events.

Sound technical knowledge of AV equipment and systems, including rigging principles and requirements.

Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy and quality. Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with Project Managers, technical teams and other stakeholders. A proactive approach to problem solving, with the ability to identify potential issues and suggest practical solutions. Comfortable using computer systems and maintaining accurate technical documentation. Flexible and adaptable, with the ability to respond to changing project requirements. A commitment to safe working practices, sustainability and contributing to a positive team culture. Willingness to work overtime, evenings and weekends when required, with occasional travel for site visits or project requirements.

If you have a keen eye for detail, extensive Vectorworks experience and the technical knowledge to turn complex project requirements into accurate, practical drawings, we’d love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
