Job Description

Deliver complex, guest-facing technology projects on time, to budget and to quality. As a Technical Project Manager at Holovis, you’ll lead cross disciplinary delivery across AV, software, networks, controls and show systems for themed attractions.



All potential candidates should read through the following details of this job with care before making an application.


We also encourage applicants from core engineering and technical industries who want to transition into themed entertainment and experiences to apply.



Who This Role Is For



You’ll thrive in this role if you:



  • Bring experience delivering technical scope in AV and Show systems or other engineering or technology industries, and can confidently follow technical dialogue, drawings and specifications


Enjoy converting engineering scope into clear plans (scope, schedule, budget, resourcing), keeping delivery aligned as reality changes


Are comfortable owning risk and dependency management, including third party subcontractor activities and making timely decisions to protect outcomes


Communicate effectively with technical clients and Holovis engineers and technicians at all levels, being able to challenge constructively, explain trade-offs, and keep stakeholders confident through delivery




Backgrounds we often see succeed:



  • Technical project management for AV and Show systems, Technical project management for automation, manufacturing, rail, aerospace, defence, construction, energy, medical or telecoms systems




Technical & Project Expectations



What you’ll need coming in:


This role is for a technical project manager with genuine engineering background. Someone who can drive the schedule while staying up to speed in the engineering detail. You’ll be able to communicate naturally with engineers, spot technical risk early, and ask the right questions to keep the project moving.



  • Proven experience delivering technical projects end-to-end with responsibility for scope, schedule, budget and quality


Establish baselines and manage change (requirements, deliverables, acceptance criteria) while maintaining clear risk and task control


Use planning tools (e.g., MS Project, JIRA) daily to schedule and track delivery, and support forecasting and project invoicing


An applicable Engineering degree




What you’ll learn here:



  • Themed entertainment fundamentals: integration workflow, show-critical thinking, and commissioning in show environments


How AV, controls, networks and software integrate as a show system and how to apply strong delivery in this niche


Holovis delivery ways of working; our HPMS (project management processes) and HSMS (sales management processes)


Core client-specific processes including stringent procedures, documentation standards, and technical specification review/approval workflows often required on major programmes




Core Responsibilities



Project management



  • Deliver projects from initiation through commissioning and handover, meeting agreed scope, budget, timescales and quality through clear plans, reporting and change control


Own risk, issues and dependencies escalating early and driving mitigation to protect outcomes



People & resource management



  • Manage a highly skilled technical team by planning resource deployment, setting achievable objectives to meet plan, and maintaining momentum to hit milestones


Communicate difficult information tactfully and early on; maintaining strong working relationships with clients and colleagues



Commercial & stakeholder management



  • Manage stakeholder expectations through clear reporting, forecasting and project invoicing aligned to scope and approved change




How You’ll Work


You’ll be hands-on, collaborative and process driven, bringing technical credibility and delivery discipline. You’ll keep communication clear, make trade-offs explicit, and maintain strong governance (plans, tasks, risks, issues, actions and decisions) so engineering teams can focus on building the right solution while stakeholders stay confident in outcomes.



Who Holovis Is


Holovis designs and delivers world-class, guest-facing systems for the themed entertainment industry. We work at the intersection of engineering, technology and story, building complex solutions that must perform 365 days a year for thousands of guests per hour, in real world conditions.


We’re a team of engineers, technologists and delivery professionals who take pride in building systems that work reliably because we put testing and preparedness first and we work collaboratively with partners and clients to do it well.


Some of our clients include Netflix, Disney, Universal Studios and Miral.



Interested? xwwtmva


If this sounds like something you could do well, even if you don’t meet every requirement or are from outside the themed entertainment industry, we’d like to hear from you.


Apply and tell us about the technical projects you’ve delivered and the teams you’ve delivered them with, how you’ve managed scope, schedule, budget, and how you work effectively with engineers and stakeholders.
