Working closely with the Production Services Manager and teams across Production, Operations and Marketing & Communications, you will help ensure signage is delivered accurately, safely and on time, while supporting audience navigation, accessibility, operational requirements and Festival brand presentation.

This is a diverse and practical role that will see you coordinating signage schedules and installation plans, liaising with suppliers and contractors, supporting wayfinding across multiple sites and monitoring signage presentation throughout the Festival.

Key responsibilities will include

- Coordinating the planning and delivery of Festival signage across venues, precinct and event sites.

- Monitoring expenditure, raising purchase orders and processing supplier invoices.
- Maintaining signage inventories, schedules and operational documentation.
- Supporting WHS requirements, risk assessments and safe installation practices.
- Working collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders to resolve signage requirements as they arise.

About you We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

- Experience in signage coordination, event branding, wayfinding, production coordination or event operations.
- Experience developing signage, wayfinding or environmental graphics solutions, rather than solely coordinating signage production.
- Experience coordinating signage production and installation across multiple venues or sites.
- Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Experience working with contractors, suppliers and production schedules.
- The ability to interpret site plans and operational requirements.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality presentation.
- Experience with budgets, procurement and administrative processes.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder liaison skills.
- An understanding of WHS requirements within event or installation environments.
- Flexibility to work outside standard office hours during key Festival delivery periods.

Experience within festivals, cultural events or major public events would be highly regarded,



as would experience with large-format printing, fabrication, environmental graphics, accessibility, wayfinding or working with branding and marketing teams. Why work for Perth Festival?

Perth Festival is a vibrant and cooperative environment that engages with some of the most incredible professionals, artists and art in the world. We are passionate about the role the arts play in bringing people together, creating connection and contributing to a thriving cultural community.
