  • Manage on-site logistics, crew scheduling, WHS protocols, and install/de-rig timelines
  • Travel as required to support key events and builds

Cost Management
  • Develop and track detailed production budgets
  • Identify cost-saving measures and opportunities to drive margin improvement

Sustainability & ESG Practices
  • Promote sustainable sourcing, reuse and recycling of assets, and responsible production practices

  • Exceptional prioritisation, time management, and multi-project coordination
  • Commercial mindset with strong negotiation skills
  • Technical knowledge of materials, printing, and fabrication processes
