Job Description

NRI Staffing is a respected staffing agency specializing in providing qualified personnel for various professional events and conferences. Based in Washington, DC, the agency prides itself on matching skilled individuals with short-term job opportunities that support the smooth execution of high-profile gatherings. Their clientele often includes international organizations and large-scale conference hosts seeking reliable and professional event staff who can operate efficiently in a fast-paced and often complex environment. The organization is well-known for its commitment to diversity, equal opportunity employment, and creating supportive work environments that emphasize professionalism and the value of each employee's contribution to the event's success.

This particular job opening is for a bilingual (Spanish-English) Event Staff position supporting a significant international conference hosted at the Washington, DC Convention Center. As a temporary role, it spans a period from May 13 to May 18, 2026, with an hourly wage of $20. The event will attract attendees primarily composed of physicians from across Latin America, requiring the staff to be fluent in Spanish to facilitate communication and provide excellent customer service. This role is ideal for candidates who possess not only linguistic skills but also the ability to maintain professionalism, efficiently manage event logistics, and engage with guests in a confident and courteous manner.

The bilingual Event Staff will be integral to multiple operational areas of the conference including registration, express check-in, information desk support, breakout room assistance, and line monitoring. Assigned duties focus heavily on ensuring an effective and welcoming attendee experience by efficiently managing registration operations, guiding attendees throughout the venue, and providing responsive assistance. The role requires working variable shift times between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM across multiple days, including a training session on May 13 and breakdown support on May 18, with the schedule demanding reliability and punctuality from each staff member.

In addition to linguistic proficiency, this position emphasizes strong communication skills, a professional demeanor, and the ability to thrive in high-volume, fast-paced environments. Ideal candidates will have prior customer service experience, especially within events or hospitality sectors, although this is considered a plus rather than a strict requirement. Staff members will be expected to uphold a consistent dress code, which includes wearing black pants, a white shirt, black shoes or clean sneakers, complemented by a red jacket provided on-site to ensure a unified and professional appearance.

Overall, this temporary role offers a unique opportunity for bilingual professionals who seek engaging, short-term employment supporting a prestigious international event. The position promises the experience of working in a dynamic, multicultural setting while contributing directly to the successful delivery of a major conference. NRI Staffing’s adherence to equal opportunity hiring practices further enriches the work environment by promoting inclusivity and respect for all applicants, regardless of background or personal characteristics.
