Production Event Specialist

Location: Dallas, Texas • Contract role • $60–68 per hour

About the role

We are seeking an execution-driven Production Event Specialist to lead on-site activation and event production for an immersive, Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) venue. This role drives the execution of quick-turnaround, IP-themed guest experiences, balancing 60% central directive execution with 40% local creative ideation. You will manage approximately eight concurrent 1-day activations and seasonal overlays with budgets ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. As the primary on-site “Quality Control” lead, you will manage local vendors, read fabrication drawings, and oversee load-ins to ensure all physical builds meet high creative and brand standards.

• Source, contract, and oversee local fabrication, AV, and event vendors; read production drawings and direct on-site installs.
• Serve as the site lead for brand standards—presenting concepts, managing brand review feedback, and maintaining strict IP compliance.
• Manage project P&Ls ($5 k–$40 k per activation), build cost estimates, issue POs, track invoices, and write Statements of Work (SOWs).

Requirements

• 5+ years of proven track record in fast-turnaround event production, experiential marketing, immersive theater, or fast-paced theme park events.
• Technical fabrication knowledge: ability to read spatial/fabrication drawings, evaluate 3D design aesthetics, and manage physical builds.
• Demonstrated experience navigating strict intellectual property guidelines and multi-stakeholder creative approvals.
• 100 % on-site role (mall-based venue); must be comfortable working non-standard hours, including nights and weekends, aligned with production schedules.

Schedule

Full-time, on-site. Must be open to evenings and weekends based on event schedules.

Pay

$60–68 per hour.
