About argos
argos is a Brussels centre for audiovisual arts: it presents artists’ films and videos through exhibitions, public programmes, distribution and its own library, and holds the largest collection of artists’ moving image work in Belgium.
The team is small — around ten people — sharing values such as critical engagement, plurality, care, responsibility and generosity. Joining means becoming part of a notable European institution at the intersection of film, video art and contemporary art.
The centre is located at Werfstraat 13 / rue du Chantier, 1000 Brussels, and is open to the public Thursday to Sunday.

What the role involves
The producer is responsible for the organisational and technical preparation and delivery of exhibitions and public programmes: two major exhibitions and two to three smaller presentations a year, mostly featuring audiovisual works, plus technical support for recurring public events — screenings and discussions.
It’s not just planning: it’s hands-on work too — you’ll be personally involved in installing and dismantling exhibitions. Depending on experience, you may also contribute to collection work — quality checks on digitisation, preparing files for distribution, advice on sustainable digital preservation.
You’ll work closely with the presentation and collection team, freelance technicians, artists, curators and suppliers.

Production responsibilities
translating the artistic vision into concrete plans and realistic timelines;
running the whole production process — from the technical development of the scenography through installation, coordinating install and de-install, and post-event follow-up;
administrative tasks: drafting specifications, requesting quotes, contributing to contracts;
co-creating and monitoring the exhibition budget;
coordinating with curators on presentation formats and installation guidelines;
ordering or renting equipment in good time (projectors, speakers, furniture);
documenting technical setups for future reuse and choosing materials with sustainability in mind.

Technical responsibilities
developing and implementing technical roadmaps — lighting, sound, power, installation schedules;
acting as the in-house AV expert and point of contact for all technical matters: synchronisation, audio, projection, editing and conversion software, playback systems;
working with freelance technicians on site during install;
ensuring safe, stable and well-presented installation of the works;
maintaining and developing the public infrastructure, keeping the equipment inventory and carrying out regular maintenance.

Who they’re looking for
At least four years of hands-on experience in exhibition production (technical and organisational), skill in installing audiovisual works (mostly digital) and familiarity with the relevant equipment.
Understanding of video formats and the ability to convert files; knowledge of software such as Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, ffWorks, VLC, Mitti, QLab, BrightSign Author. Experience with art handling, working with suppliers, coordinating freelancers and managing budgets is a plus.
Personal qualities: proactive, solution-oriented, clear and respectful communication. Willingness to occasionally work evenings and weekends, and to get through two intensive install periods a year.
Languages: fluent English; Dutch and/or French are a plus but not required.

Contract and pay
Permanent contract, part-time 60% — 22.8 hours a week, 3 days, with the possibility to increase to 80% if the role expands to include technical support for collection work.
Pay follows the Belgian socio-cultural sector scale PC 329.01, category B1c; no specific figure is stated in the listing.
What else is included: 12 vacation days (for a 60% contract), extra time off between Christmas and New Year, sectoral days off from age 35, a remote-work allowance and public transport or bike compensation.
Hybrid format: fixed office days are Tuesday and Thursday, with the rest available remotely. Start: as soon as possible, preferably by 1 November 2026.

Who it suits — and who it doesn’t
Suits an experienced exhibition producer or technical manager with a strong audiovisual background who enjoys hands-on work and is happy combining planning with installation. A real plus for our readers: argos explicitly welcomes candidates from different countries and backgrounds — a friendly institution for anyone who has emigrated.
A few honest caveats. This is an on-site job in Brussels (fixed Tuesday and Thursday office days), so you’ll need to already be in Belgium or have the right to work in the EU. It’s part-time (60%) — factor that into your income planning. The work is physical, with evening and weekend shifts during install periods, and requires 4+ years of relevant experience and specific technical skills. And one honest detail from the listing: argos’s office is not wheelchair accessible.
