Festival Season 2025 - WiFi / Cabling work

Hi all

Sorry i realise this sounds very much like an add - not sure if there is another section for it?

I currently work at the uk's largest festivals and events, installing the IT infrstructure that runs everything from CCTV to card machines to ticket scanning to WiFi on the stages and dressing rooms. We literally cover the entire site for every single connected device. If you have been to a festival in the UK there is a good chance you have used our system in some way shape of form and just don't know it!

Working in this industry it great, its very social, you get to travel around a lot, you get to see the show and also how the backend of festivals and events work.

I am looking for people who are interested in this type of thing for the 2025 season. (Age 18 minimum).

The work would involve
Installing: cat5 cabling, cctv cameras, wifi points, voip phones on festival sites
Loading / Unloading equipment as it arrives on site
Configuring equipment such as wifi access points
Using a cherry picker if you have an IPAF - if not then no worries

Essential
Basic IT knowledge

Good to have but not essential
IT Knowledge - WiFi / CCTV / Networks
Driving License
Can terminate cat5 cables
IPAF

Basic training will be provided and any task you are asked to do it will be with someone who has experience.

Doing these jobs you are epected to stay on site, hotel or in an Airbnb for the duration of the build and show - don't worry there is no camping and no sharing of rooms, everyone gets their own room and facilities - all accomodation is paid for (pre paid, you do not have to claim expenses).

Any hotels or Airbnb provided are always 3 stars or above, on site accomodation is a bunkabin.

If you have a campervan and would wish to bring it then this can usually be catered for.

Food is provided and paid for with on site catering when available - when not a food allowance of £20 per day is paid

Travel / Mileage is paid for

Pay is on a day rate and will be paid within 30 days of invoice. We expect any contractors to invoice us and to make clear we are not a PAYE employer.

Most jobs are for 1 to 4 weeks - this involves working up and down the country, every day (including weekends), staying away while working, working outside a lot, being on your feet a lot. You also need to be able to carry tools and equipment.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in then please message me.

This sounds like a dream gig for anyone with hands-on IT skills who enjoys fast-paced environments. I’ve done similar deployments for event networks and know how chaotic and rewarding it can be. Tracking gear and team workflows was always tricky until I implemented Phonexa for system-wide coordination—it streamlined everything from equipment logs to onsite comms.
