Event Production Manager (Maternity Cover)

Posted: 01/10/2026

Closing Date: 02/11/2026

Job Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Scenic World

Job Category: Marketing

Scenic World is seeking an experienced Event Production Manager to join our Events team for a 12 month maternity leave contract , working onsite in the beautiful Blue Mountains. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the technical production behind an evolving program of events and activations at one of Australia’s most iconic visitor attractions, helping turn creative ideas into safe, practical and memorable experiences.

Working closely with the Senior Event Manager, you will oversee the technical and production elements of events from early planning through to onsite delivery. From site surveys, technical requirements and production schedules to AV, equipment, contractors, budgets and resourcing, you’ll work out how we make great event ideas happen and then lead the production required to bring them to life.

This is not a desk-based production role. You will be hands‑on with event installs and de‑installs, manage casual event crew and contractors, troubleshoot challenges as they arise and work closely with teams across Scenic World to deliver events safely and successfully. You’ll bring strong technical knowledge, practical problem-solving and a genuine passion for events, while continually looking for smarter, safer and better ways to deliver them.

Job Description What You Will Be Doing

Working within a 7-day tourism attraction, no two events will look quite the same. We are looking for someone who knows what it takes to turn an event plan into a safe, practical and seamless onsite experience, bringing together the people,



infrastructure, suppliers and technical elements needed to make it happen.

Reporting to the Senior Event Manager, the Event Production Manager is responsible for the production and operational delivery of Scenic World’s event program, from major events through to smaller activations. You will work closely with teams across the business, contractors, suppliers and event partners to ensure every event is well planned, technically sound and ready to deliver.

This is a hands‑on role combining event production, operational planning, logistics, supplier management and onsite delivery. You will take the lead on the practical elements behind each event, working through production schedules, site requirements, infrastructure, technical needs and event safety to make sure the creative vision can be delivered successfully in a live tourism setting.

Key focus areas include event production & delivery, site & operational planning, event logistics, contractor & supplier management, technical production, event safety & continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the production planning & onsite delivery of Scenic World’s major events and smaller activations.
- Translate event concepts & plans into practical production requirements, timelines, schedules & delivery plans.
- Develop & manage event production schedules, run sheets,



site plans, bump‑in & bump‑out requirements and other key production documentation.
- Coordinate event infrastructure, equipment, technical requirements, suppliers, contractors & other production resources.
- Work closely with Operations, Engineering & Support Services, Safety, Marketing and other internal teams to ensure operational requirements are considered throughout event planning & delivery.
- Manage external production suppliers, contractors & event partners, ensuring requirements, responsibilities & timelines are clearly communicated.
- Work closely with the Safety team to identify & manage event risks and ensure WHS requirements are effectively incorporated into event planning & delivery.
- Oversee event bump‑in, onsite production, event delivery & bump‑out, troubleshooting issues and adapting plans where required.
- Ensure production requirements are delivered within agreed event budgets, identifying efficiencies & managing costs throughout the planning process.
- Provide clear production briefings to internal teams, contractors & event staff to support event readiness and smooth onsite delivery.
- Develop & continually improve production processes, templates & systems to support safe, efficient and repeatable event delivery.
- Participate in post‑event reviews, identifying production learnings & opportunities to improve future events.
- Keep across event production trends, technology, equipment & industry practices, making recommendations where relevant.
- Actively contribute to a positive, collaborative work culture & participate in ongoing professional, cultural & business development.
