• Coordinate with suppliers (stages, truss, lighting, booths, power, logistics)
• Manage site timelines and ensure deadlines are met
• Supervise crew, technicians, and labor teams
• Identify and solve on-site issues quickly and calmly
• Ensure safety, cleanliness, and professional execution
• Communicate directly with agencies, organizers, and internal team
• Support planning of site layouts and operational workflows
