The opening ceremony for the Clarion Hotel Post was held in the centre of Gothenburg on 26th January. Mediatec supplied high-end projectors required to successfully project over 1000 sqm onto the facade of the building. In addition to this, they also supplied moving lights, projection, LED screens and a three camera production for the staged opening ceremony viewed by the 2000 special guests and thousands of visitors to the area.
As an Event technician you will drive the Mobile LED Screen to events in the whole of Europe. You will represent the company and be responsible for the equipment and the performance on site. In many cases you will be expected to do a smaller production.
You are self-going and are not afraid of heights.
You are interested in technique and have knowledge of mechanics and heavy vehicles. If you have knowledge of electricity and are interested in pixels and screens it is even better. You need to be flexible as you will be traveling and working odd and long hours, often on weekends.
Knowledge of English both spoken and written is a must. If you have your own business and are willing to work as a freelancer and have a CE-driving license, you might be the one we are looking for.
