Vivid Sydney is seeking a new operations manager to run its drone light shows ahead of next year. Multiple reports say the recruitment process begins after a drone display took place at Darling Harbour, where dozens of drones performed before the event’s conclusion. The role is described as requiring “substantial” experience operating drone shows, reflecting the technical and safety demands of coordinating large swarms of aircraft, timing and programming sequences, and on-the-ground event operations.
The outlets report that the job search is ongoing and that Vivid Sydney is looking for someone to oversee show execution and related operational planning. While details of the candidate selection and start date are not covered in the provided summaries, the focus of the hiring effort is clear: Vivid wants to ensure it has the operational leadership and expertise to deliver drone programming again in the next edition of the festival. The reports frame the recruitment as a response to the end of the most recent drone display period, positioning the new operator search as part of preparations for future drone events.
