Workshop Technician (Events & Entertainment)

Workshop Technician (Events & Entertainment)

Weesp, Netherlands

Hands-on | Creative tech | Workshop-based

Build large-scale inflatable installations for global events — from our studio in Weesp, where engineering meets creativity.

At Airworks, you help bring spectacular inflatable structures to life — right from our workshop. You prepare, test and assemble installations that will later be shipped and showcased at events around the world.

This is a hands-on technical role where precision, craftsmanship and teamwork come together to create something truly unique.

What you’ll do

As a Workshop Technician, you ensure every installation leaves the studio fully functional, safe and ready for deployment.

• Assemble and integrate components into large inflatable structures

• Prepare and test installations in the workshop before shipment

• Support complex builds and ensure all parts work together as one system

• Perform quality checks and troubleshoot technical issues

• Work closely with engineering, production and operations teams

• Help maintain tools, materials and workshop standards

• Contribute to improving processes and technical workflows
  

What makes this role unique

• You work at the intersection of technology and art

• You build installations that will be seen at events worldwide

• You are part of a hands-on, highly skilled workshop team

• You develop broad technical skills across mechanics, construction and integration

• You directly see the result of your work before it leaves the studio

  
  

Who you are

You’re practical, precise and enjoy building things that actually work.

• You have a technical background (MBO/HBO or equivalent)

• You have hands-on experience in assembly, production, or technical workshops

• You are detail-oriented and take pride in quality

• You like working in a structured workshop environment

• You are a team player with a proactive mindset

• You’re curious and eager to learn new techniques and tools

In this role, practical, hands‑on experience in theatre/ live entertainment/ event industry is essential. We are looking for someone who is used to working with their hands, has solid technical insight, and can translate that into real, on‑site execution. You naturally sense what is needed — even when a client hasn’t voiced it yet — you are able to anticipate latent needs during both the preparation and delivery of an event.

In short: you see what needs to be done, you take action, and you execute with confidence — and we would love to hear about your experience and see where you have gained it.
