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
