Live Event Rigger

About the course

Live event riggers ensure the infrastructure for the scenic, lighting, sound and audio-visual elements of a live event are installed safely, in accordance with technical plans which they are able to read and interpret. They assemble modular structural components as well as lifting these elements into place. They may be responsible for attaching additional equipment. Working in a sometimes fast paced and pressured environment, live event riggers will show logic and ability to safely work individually, as well as being part of a team, to meet client deadlines.

The work environment may vary and comprise exhibitions, conferences, concerts, sport as well as other related environments. Live event riggers may work at both indoor and outdoor events in a variety of temperatures and weather conditions.
