As a Scanning Coordinator, you will play a vital role in ensuring our scanning technology is deployed effectively, functioning reliably, and used correctly by on-site security personnel.

This is a hands-on role that involves equipment setup, troubleshooting, field support, training, and problem-solving — often in fast-paced, high-security environments with long hours and significant walking.

• Monitor battery levels, manage charging rotation, and align with production schedules to avoid downtime.
• Troubleshoot technical issues, escalate when necessary, and keep equipment in peak working condition.
• Support the accreditation team with related tasks such as printer setup, jam resolution, driver installation, and general admin.
• Check in regularly with scanning points and security personnel throughout the event.
• Maintain accurate, real-time situational awareness of scanner performance and potential vulnerabilities.
• Interact confidently with event control, police, and high-value individuals when required.
• Stay alert for signs of social engineering or penetration testing and uphold event security protocols.

Ideal Candidate

• Preferred background in event technology, IT systems, RFID/QR scanning, or live event operations.
• Calm under pressure with excellent communication and initiative.
• Able to follow technical instructions and solve problems independently.
• Comfortable working in high-security environments where discretion is key.
• Physically fit and prepared for long shifts and extensive walking.
• Willing and able to travel at short notice, including overnight stays.
• Experience with custom or long-range UHF scanners is a strong advantage.
• Full UK driving licence preferred for certain assignments.

Compensation & Benefits

• Freelance position, paid per day (rates discussed individually).
• Travel, accommodation, and on-site catering may be included, depending on the event.
• Opportunity to work at world-class events alongside experienced industry professionals.
• Training provided on equipment and procedures.
