Tour Rigging Operations

Tour Rigging Operations Manager

As a Tour Rigging Operations Manager, you ensure that every flown element—from lighting and video walls to scenic structures—is safely supported and show-ready. Using Vectorworks and precise load calculations, help touring productions move seamlessly from venue to venue without compromising safety, creativity, or efficiency.

Tour rigging is a high-stakes blend of engineering, adaptability, and collaboration. Every venue is different, every load matters, and every drawing must be clear, accurate, and actionable. Make the spectacle possible—safely and consistently.

Key Skills & Responsibilities:

• Use Vectorworks to create rigging plots, truss layouts, and motor placements
• Perform load calculations and collaborate with venues to secure rigging approvals
• Coordinate logistics and rigging strategies across multiple stops on the tour
• Stay current with rigging hardware, safety protocols, and touring production workflows
• Draft detailed rigging plots and system layouts tailored to each venue's specs

If you're passionate about live entertainment, love solving structural challenges, and thrive in a fast-paced, mobile environment—this is a career where your expertise truly lifts the show.
