We are now growing our US operations and are looking for a hands-on, technically capable and client-facing Field Operations Technician to help us deliver successful events, venue activations, installations and customer operations across the US market.

This is a practical, technical and client-facing role at the heart of BoxBar’s live event delivery.

You will support the preparation, deployment, setup, operation, troubleshooting and breakdown of BoxBar equipment across events, venues, festivals, hospitality environments and activations. You will work closely with internal teams, clients, venue staff, contractors and event teams to ensure BoxBar technology is ready for service, operates reliably and is represented to the highest standard.

This role is not just about equipment setup. You will be one of the people representing BoxBar on site with clients and venue teams, helping make sure our technology performs in live, high-pressure environments where service speed, reliability and customer experience matter.

Key responsibilities include:

• Understand event requirements in advance and prepare effectively for each deployment.

• Replace parts or make minor adjustments where required and approved.
• Escalate technical issues clearly and promptly when additional support is needed.

• Support scoping visits, site checks or project preparation ahead of events where required.
• Help improve training materials, event processes, checklists and operating procedures.
• Contribute to internal event programs, schedules and calendars so the team has clear visibility of upcoming work.

• Support warehouse preparation of machines and equipment before and after events.
• Liaise with and support contract staff or temporary event teams where needed.
• Support other operational areas when required in a fast-moving scale-up environment.
• Take ownership of practical problems and help create better ways of working as BoxBar grows in the US.
