Job Overview

We are seeking hard-working, reliable, and detail-oriented Event Operations Staff to handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

• Event Tear-Down: Efficiently dismantle event setups, pack delicate gear, and reload transport trucks safely at the conclusion of the event.
• Site Cleanup: Maintain venue cleanliness before, during, and after events by clearing debris, managing waste bins, and ensuring the space is left spotless.
• Safety & Care: Handle all company and client equipment with care to prevent damage, following all safety protocols during heavy lifting and moving.

Qualifications

• Physical Requirements: Stand and walk for long shifts, and safely lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs regularly.
• Reliability: Punctual and dependable, especially for late-night tear-downs or early-morning setups.
• Teamwork: Able to take direction well from crew leads and work quickly alongside a team to meet tight deadlines.
• Flexibility: Willing to work non-traditional hours, including late nights, weekends, and holidays depending on the event schedule.
• Age Requirement: Must be at least 18 years old.

What We Offer

• Flexible Scheduling: Choose the setup or tear-down shifts that work best for your schedule.
• Active Work Environment: Skip the gym and get paid to stay moving in a fast-paced environment.
