About Ingaged

Ingaged Creative Productions Inc. is an Indigenous-owned event services and creative production company based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with offices at 610 Simpson Street and on Fort William First Nation. We produce a wide range of events across multiple sectors, including corporate events, tradeshows, multi-day regional conferences, and large-scale Indigenous community gatherings and cultural events. Indigenous community work forms a significant portion of our portfolio.

Ingaged is an established company actively investing in the next stage of organizational growth, including formalizing compensation frameworks, performance pathways, and the governance structures that support a maturing team. We are looking for thoughtful, capable people who want to help build what comes next.

About the Role

The Multimedia and Event Technician (MET) delivers technical and multimedia support for live, hybrid, and virtual events. The MET sets up, operates, and tears down event technology and stage dressing and decor, captures and prepares multimedia content, supports the team on-site, and protects the quality of each event.

Variety is the defining feature of this role. A MET may run an event one day, support a production or content shoot the next, and contribute to in-office project work later in the week. On many jobs, there are only one or two technicians on site, so every MET works within a shared technical baseline spanning audio, visual and presentation, multimedia, and general production work. This is a team environment, and the role is built for people who like covering more than one thing well.

Existing industry skills and expertise are welcome and readily recognized. Many of our strongest candidates arrive with real depth in one area, such as videography or audio recording. MET roles work across the full baseline, like every technician, and existing skill sets are recognized through a defined internal pathway. 

Our work supports events with and for Indigenous communities, Survivors, and the wider range of partners and clients we serve. We are looking for someone who brings care, reliability, adaptability, and composure to every event.

What You’ll Do

  • Cross-Functional Technical Delivery: Set up, operate, and tear down audio, visual, lighting, projection, and staging systems at a working level. Handle load-in and load-out, cabling, basic event electrical, and LED screen assembly. Follow the run-of-show and support the event as it unfolds.

  • Multimedia Capture and Content: Support videography and photography shoots, capture and prepare multimedia content, complete basic editing, and prepare files for handoff, before, during, and after events.

  • Hybrid, Streaming and Interpretation Support: Support clean audio and video into and out of Zoom, OBS, Microsoft Teams, and other platforms. Support concurrent live, hybrid, and virtual sessions, and support interpretation and translation delivery, including headsets, captioning, and session recording. Many of our events run in more than one language.

  • Client, Presenter and Performer Support: Communicate professionally with clients, presenters, performers, musicians, cultural leaders, and vendors. Provide calm support during rehearsals, sound checks, and live sessions, and follow cue sheets and annotated agendas accurately.

  • Equipment, Inventory, and Logistics: Prepare, test, pack, and care for event and production equipment. Maintain accurate inventory records, support shipping and receiving, keep files organized, and help move gear to and from venues and out-of-town sites.

  • Department and Project Support: Contribute to department work between events, support other teams and projects where technical capability helps, take part in event debriefs, and help keep our procedures current and useful.

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • An Adaptable, Team-First Disposition: The role rewards people who flex across a job, cover for teammates, stay calm when plans change, and treat every part of an event as shared work.

  • Working Competence Across Event Technology: Comfort across basic mixers and microphones, projectors and displays, screen sharing, and camera and livestream basics, with the willingness to grow in each area.

  • Platform Comfort: Working knowledge of Zoom, OBS, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365, including presentation tools, and the connectivity that hybrid and virtual events depend on.

  • Troubleshooting Under Pressure: Strong troubleshooting instincts and composure when something goes sideways during a live event.

  • Clear Communication: Professional, proactive communication with teammates, clients, and presenters, in person and in writing, and the ability to accept feedback and route requests to the right person.

  • Post-secondary education in Interactive Media Development, Media and Communication, Film and Communications, Video Design and Production, Broadcasting, Audio Post-Production and Engineering, or a related field, or a demonstrated track record of equivalent professional experience.

  • Familiarity with Indigenous community contexts, organizations and programming.

Operational Requirements

  • Valid Class G Ontario Driver’s Licence, with the ability and willingness to drive company or rental vehicles and small trailers. Thunder Bay’s geography and the regional nature of much of our work make reliable mobility a practical necessity for this role.

  • The willingness and ability to work in an open-office, collaborative environment, which includes a resident office dog.
