It's a truly unique opportunity, and it may be just what you're looking for! Here's what might make you a great fit:

Valid Driver’s License and an Insurable Driving Record – While most of the candidates’ work will be taking place in a single location, there are times that an employee may be required to either go pick up supplies or take additional equipment to a job site.

Reliable Transportation – Our busy season tends to be exactly that. It is expected that employees will be present and ready to work at the discussed start time for every day they are scheduled and possess the ability to work all scheduled shifts.

Willingness to learn – This industry has many similarities to neighboring industries, but it also has key differences. The ideal employee will come in with an open mind and a desire to learn the facets of how this position fits into the event industry, possess the ability to follow detailed procedures and adhere to the company’s standard operating practices

Safe and Thorough –

Do it safely, do it right, the first time, every time. Especially when you're operating machinery (forklift).

Organized and Focused –

We pull multiple complex orders a day and load them on trucks, bound for wherever the action is!

Maintaining organization and looking at the details is an absolute must.

Active and Disciplined –

This is a physically demanding position, we move staging materials primarily made of steel and plywood.

Heavy lifting is guaranteed. Must be able to work hard and remain disciplined till the task is complete.

Punctual and Professional –

Show up on time, every day. Treat others with respect and dignity. Every role here is equally critical to our success.

Flexible and Dedicated –

This is show business, and sometimes we have to go the extra mile to make an event happen! This might mean some long hours (overtime!), as well as weekends and holidays.
