About RockitRockit is a technical event production company delivering lighting, sound and AV across a wide range of events, venues and clients. A lot of our work takes place in Central London, but we operate across the UK wherever the work takes us.Day to day, we’re a team of people who genuinely care about what we do and how we do it. We’ve grown a lot over the years, but we’ve worked hard to keep that small team feel — people know each other, support each other and take real pride in the work we put out.We hold a high standard and we stick to it. We’re known for being the team that gets stuck in and makes things happen. The work we deliver matters, and we treat it that way.We’ve got a strong drive to keep building and improving as a business. People here take ownership, think ahead and get things moving. There’s a shared expectation that we deliver to a high standard every time. If something needs sorting, it gets sorted.The work can be fast-paced and high-pressure at times, with quick turnarounds and long days — but there’s a good energy to it. People pull together, step up and look out for each other. Rockit isn’t a place where you’ll be left on your own — you’ll be supported by the team around you. But it’s also not somewhere you can sit back and coast; people here get stuck in, take ownership and care about doing things properly.Rockit is a place for people who want to be involved, take pride in their work and be part of a team that holds itself to a high standard and raises each other up.How We WorkThe work here moves quickly and doesn’t always go to plan, so clear communication and a calm, practical approach make a big difference. We keep things straightforward. If something needs attention, it gets raised early and dealt with. People keep each other in the loop and work things through rather than letting them drift.There’s a level of ownership that comes with the role. People take responsibility for their work, think ahead and keep things moving, while also knowing when to bring others in for support.On site and in the office, the team is switched on, respectful and focused. Everyone plays their part, and there’s a shared understanding of what good looks like.It suits people who are organised, proactive and comfortable working at pace, and who enjoy being part of a team that works well together and wants to see each other do well.The RoleAs a Project Manager at Rockit, you’ll take ownership of projects from initial brief through to delivery and completion, balancing detailed planning in the office with hands-on delivery on site.This is a broad, all-round role.
