Audio Engineer for live event bands in Colorado area

WHO ARE WE? Mannequin Productions is a rare hybrid live entertainment and AV production company. We specialize in private events and the bulk of our work is in Colorado, though we do have opportunities to travel both domestically and internationally. Our engineers work primarily with their assigned band, but our client base is growing. Mannequin pairs engineers with bands so that the process of set up, show, tear down becomes streamlined and efficient. Our techs know the show inside and out, as well as the band. In fact, the crew are considered part of the band. This attention to culture and nurtured chemistry creates both a better work experience and a better client experience. We want to be certain that we are as good of a fit for you as you are for us. We are interested in learning about all who enter the Mannequin family, helping you to reach your music industry goals and becoming the most you can be. Entertainment and production are our passion and we feel like the post pandemic world is hungry for companies who genuinely love what they do. Mannequin has become the most sought after wedding and event band in the region, networking with and integrating our brand into wedding and event organizations and associations. There are many benefits to working with Mannequin, such as travel, competitive pay and fun, and we have received multiple rewards and write ups as being the best at what we do and maintaining a reputation of excellence is something we take very seriously. But it’s our company culture that separates us from our peers. Our company culture is highly regarded as one of the best in our area and it’s the reason why, as we grow, we have little to no turnover. We are very proud of our products and the people who perform and present them to the public. WHO ARE OUR TEAM OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS? Passionate and driven. Client facing in appearance and manor.
