The Professionals Behind the Scenes: Careers at Wired Production Group
So much happens behind the scenes in the world of live, virtual, and hybrid events. There is even more behind video productions. Event and video production industry careers come in various shapes and sizes. Not all skills are represented the same. From audio engineers in a touring company to lighting designers in theater to video editors in Hollywood studios, there is a long list of career opportunities across the globe.
At Wired Production Group, we give you the opportunity to have a strong home base in Eastern Iowa and still experience the type of event and video production career you’re looking for. Careers within our company give you a wide range of opportunities to cross into different types of events, video productions, and new creative projects that will challenge you to use your brain power, collaborate with others on a higher level, utilize technology as a strong resource, and make clients’ visions come to life through your time and talents. These opportunities vary from live shows for local non-profits to multi-day music festivals in the region to corporate conferences for thousands on the East and West coasts. No two days are the same at Wired.
While the majority of our staff is comprised of lighting, video, and audio technicians who are executing the shows, video teams shooting and editing, and technical directors with boots on the ground while events are happening, we have a behind-the-scenes crew for our behind-the-scenes crew! Behind our office doors, you’ll connect with our client account managers, our office and logistics staff, a full warehouse crew, a sales and marketing team, and a handful of others cheering you on.
