Job Description

d&b solutions UK is seeking a Head of Rigging Workshop to lead our SW19 rigging workshop team and drive safe, efficient, well-organised workshop operations across stock, storage, and equipment readiness. This role is well suited to candidates with transferable experience from mechanical, engineering, manufacturing, plant, lifting equipment, or workshop/warehouse environments – particularly where inspection, testing, maintenance, and high standards of record-keeping are required. Live entertainment rigging knowledge is not essential on day one, but you will be expected to develop strong rigging equipment knowledge over time, with structured support and training to build rigging-specific capability and the competence needed to support LOLER requirements.

Practical, hands-on ability to assess, handle, and maintain equipment in a workshop environment (including basic servicing/repair) with a strong focus on safe systems of work.

Experience supporting inspection/testing regimes for equipment or metalwork (e.g., lifting accessories, mechanical components, fabricated items, plant equipment) and maintaining accurate records.

Working knowledge of LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) is desirable; candidates without prior LOLER exposure will be supported to develop competence and complete relevant training to meet our inspection and compliance needs.

Experience managing workshop stock and storage systems, including labelling, rationalisation, and continuous improvement of processes.

Live entertainment rigging equipment knowledge (e.g., truss, hoists, clamps, shackles) is desirable but not essential on day one; you will be expected to learn and become knowledgeable over time as part of the role.
