The Opportunity

GE Production creates high end weddings, luxury, corporate and live music events across the UK and internationally.

We’re looking for highly capable candidates to work closely with our Lead Event Designer and the wider team on getting beautifully designed, structured and well costed proposals over to new clients.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong organisation with creative instinct. Someone who enjoys creative work whilst remaining focussed and structured, can work independently when needed, and takes pride in producing polished, high-quality work.

This role would suit someone early in their career who is exceptional rather than experienced. We care far more about attitude, initiative, attention to detail and willingness to learn than years spent in the industry.

You’ll be joining a supportive, hard-working and ambitious team that cares deeply about creativity, presentation and delivering exceptional events.
