As Eurovision fever takes over Europe, we couldn’t help but wonder… amongst the singing, sparks and sequins, who would be behind the scenes making it all happen?

Because let’s face it — behind every power ballad, glitter cannon and key change is a crew of grafters keeping the show alive.

So if Vision Personnel were in charge of recruiting for the Eurovision Tour, here’s who we’d be sending out on site:

 

🎤 1. General Labourers – The Backbone of the Build

Before the stage can sparkle, someone’s got to unload 12 tonnes of aluminium truss, build the platforms, and haul gear up 3 flights of stairs — without knocking over the LED screen.

Skills:

  • Strength, speed, and stamina
  • Ability to stay calm when the diva’s dressing room isn’t ready

 

💡 2. Electricians – Powering the Pyro

You think those strobe lights, smoke machines, and 6-metre spark fountains just power themselves?

Our sparks would be on hand to wire up every show-stopping effect, making sure no one gets fried during the final chorus.

 

🪚 3. Carpenters – Set the Stage (Literally)

Eurovision acts don’t just walk on stage. They emerge from flaming boxes, rotating towers or giant glitter eggs. And someone’s got to build it.

That’s where your trusty chippy comes in — skilled with a circular saw and able to interpret a sketch labelled only “very dramatic archway???”

 

🎧 4. Site Manager – AKA The Tour Manager

Managing a live site is one thing. Managing a Eurovision rehearsal with 48 moving parts, 12 dancers, a wind machine and a panicked host city? Whole new level.

We’re sending a seasoned Site Manager who can coordinate trades, keep to programme, and still find time to colour co-ordinate someone’s skittles.

 

🦺 5. Health & Safety Officer – No Drama (Except On Stage)

Between flame throwers, trap doors and 100,000 volts of lighting gear, there’s plenty that could go wrong. Enter: the H&S Officer.

They’re not here to kill the vibe — they’re just making sure nobody stage dives into an unsecured pit.

Hard hat, clipboard, high-vis — and a heart of gold.

 

🎤 6. Sound Engineers – The Unsung Heroes

Because when that power note hits, you don’t want feedback. And when the mic cuts out mid-key change? Absolute chaos.

These technical wizards make sure everyone sounds pitch-perfect — even if they’re miming. (We’re not saying anything… 🇫🇷👀)

 

💄 7. Decorators – Finishing Touches

Once the big stuff is in place, it’s all about the flair — the sparkle curtains, gold handrails, faux-marble effect on the judges’ platform.

We’d send in a team of painters and finishers who can make MDF look like marble and get the job done without getting glitter in the grout.

 

🧯 Bonus Hire: The Fire Watcher

Because Eurovision without pyrotechnics is just karaoke. And if there are flames involved, you need someone ready to go with an extinguisher and nerves of steel.

Whether it’s a construction site or a Eurovision stage, success is all about the team behind the scenes. And at Vision Personnel, we’re used to sending the right people into high-pressure, fast-moving environments — with or without sequins.

So if you need top talent for your next build, give us a shout.
