Your team and working environment: Sight & Sound Event Productions is based in Jacksonville, FL, but produces events all over the country. While most events are held in Northeast Florida, a few times a year you will be asked to travel for up to a week. Our corporate office where you will spend prepping shows and collaborating with the team is in a newly built building conveniently located near the Town Center (off 295 & Beach Blvd.).
Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: We are an inclusive company, and our ambition is to attract, recruit and promote diverse talent.
Why work for Sight & Sound Event Productions? We are far more than an event company. We are a community of passionate, creative people who love building and executing ideas from the ground up. Event Techs are a little bit like “adrenaline junkies” who feed of the energy of events. A lot of companies say they have a “great culture”, but we have over 10 people who have been with the company for over 8 years, some being here for 25 years, which shows what kind of culture we truly have. We are excited that our team is growing and hope you will be a part of it.
