Tractor Vision Job Openings - Technical Director

Full Time

Technical Director

The Production Manager / Technical Director is the connection between clients and crew. This person is the glue that holds the pieces of a project together from the initial bid through installation, strike and job reconciliation.

Because this person not only wears the Tractor Vision hat, but is in many ways the only contact for clients, it is crucial that this person possess charisma, an artistic eye with a profound dedication to the role, attention to detail, and a concrete grasp on construction techniques and materials.

We're looking for those with an exceptional record of quality control, and references to prove you know how to stay on time and on budget. This is not an entry level role, although an apprenticeship may be considered separately.
