ABOUT LPC

Little Projector Company (LPC) tells stories through light. We design and deliver large-scale projection art — turning buildings, laneways and public spaces into canvases for community storytelling, First Nations-led work, and after-dark spectacle. We work with an eye on the future and the technology that gets us there, while always honouring the past — the histories, cultures and communities every site already holds.

We're a small, ambitious Naarm/Melbourne-based crew scaling up fast, and this is a genuinely exciting time to jump in: more projects, more gear, more paid creative roles, and more say in what we make next. Profit from our kit hire gets reinvested straight back into the business — recent equipment, better pay, and real growth for the people who make LPC's work happen.

We take fair pay and inclusive hiring seriously, we never let our installations carry private advertising, and we're working towards becoming a carbon-conscious, community-focused organisation for the long term. If you're a creative thinker who likes solving problems on-site and making things that mean something to the people watching them — we want to hear from you.

WHERE WE'RE GOING

2026 is a big year for LPC, and there's rarely been a better time to get on board. We're growing our casual crew across creative producing, technical delivery and on-site AV support so we can take on more large-scale installations, festival commissions and immersive night-time events — while building the systems (and the pay rates) to match. Expect variety: no two projects, sites or install nights look the same,



and real room to help shape where we go next.LPC is looking for one skilled AV Technician who thinks like a craftsperson — someone who takes real pride in how a projection system looks and feels, not just whether it switches on. You'll scope sites before install day, get hands-on with testing and troubleshooting, and make sure every projector, cable and mount is ready to go — then be there on the night to make it happen.

This role also covers for Lee or Ivan when they're on leave or unwell, so there's real trust (and real responsibility) built into it — plus a front-row seat to LPC's growth as we take on bigger, more ambitious installations through 2026 and beyond.
