Manager, Containment.

LA28 does not provide relocation assistance for any positions. 

If you are based outside the Los Angeles area, we still welcome your application — we value talent from all geographic backgrounds and want to hear from you if you are able to work on-site in LA. 

Role Purpose 

As Manager, Containment you will lead the technical design of containment across existing and fully temporary venues, defining the types and formats that keep cables and infrastructure safe, organized, and Games-ready. You will work alongside Broadcast, Energy, Technology, and Venue Development, adapting IOC requirements to local practice across assigned cluster(s) of venues.

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead containment technical design and development, defining suitable types and formats for existing and fully temporary venues. 

• Develop technical engineering design guides and principles, adapting IOC and other stakeholder requirements to local practices. 

• Coordinate internal and external stakeholders to develop cost-effective, streamlined containment solutions for Games-time. 

• Oversee external resources and manage the review process to meet departmental milestones. 

• Collaborate across Broadcast, Energy, Technology, and Venue Development to support requirements and align cable routes. 

Required Competencies 

• A minimum of 5 years' experience with large infrastructure integration, including specific experience in containment. 

• Experience with Event Technology, Data Center, or related infrastructure design and installation, with preference for temporary infrastructure and overlay. 

• Advanced knowledge of engineering and collaboration tools and software, including Revit and AutoCAD. 

• Experience with key industry codes and practices, and knowledge of containment activities including site preparation, installation, operation, maintenance, removal, and remediation. 

• Command of project management fundamentals — scope, schedule, and budget — and a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience. 

Valued Experience 

• Preferred experience with local or major sporting events, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games or the World Cup. 

• Command of collaboration tools such as Office 365, SharePoint, Smartsheet, and Autodesk Cloud, with an accredited bachelor's degree in Engineering or Architecture. 

What We Offer 

• Real ownership of containment design and delivery across the venues hosting the Games. 

• Cross-functional exposure across Broadcast, Energy, Technology, and Venue Development. 

• The chance to set technical standards from the ground up, on an inclusive, co-creative team. 

What This Role Means for the Games 

Containment is the quiet backbone that keeps venue infrastructure safe and organized — your work helps deliver a brilliant, accessible Olympic and Paralympic Games, and standards that outlast the event. 

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions 

• Available to work onsite in our Downtown Los Angeles-based office, with site visits to venues as needed. 

• Site visits require movement around varying environmental conditions in external locations. 

• The LA28 office is an open floorplan environment; employees must be able to work efficiently in an open cubicle setting. 

• Hours of work may vary, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, especially during peak event periods. 

• Perform other duties as required; the role will evolve and may include operational responsibilities during the Games.
