The Day Porter position at Comic-Con 2026 offers a valuable temporary role for individuals who are energetic, observant, and customer-service oriented. Scheduled across two shifts—1st shift from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and 2nd shift from 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM—this role ensures the cleanliness and safety of the convention center throughout the multi-day event running from Wednesday, July 22 to Sunday, July 26, 2026.

Offering hourly pay ranging between $20.00 and $21.95, this opportunity is designed for individuals seeking short-term employment with competitive compensation and the chance to be involved in one of San Diego’s largest and most beloved public events.

This Day Porter role requires maintaining clean and clear floors, emptying trash and recycling, and ensuring exhibit halls and public areas remain safe and presentable. Apart from maintaining cleanliness, porters also assist attendees with basic questions and directions, contributing to the smooth and welcoming atmosphere of the event. The ideal candidate possesses previous custodial, janitorial, or hospitality-related experience and thrives in busy, high-traffic environments while working well both independently and as part of a team. Physical endurance to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 pounds in crowded, dynamic conditions is also necessary.

In addition to gaining valuable experience, successful candidates will enjoy benefits including the pride of participating in an iconic San Diego experience, a supportive team atmosphere, short-term scheduling with weekly pay, and a unique vantage point into the workings of one of the largest pop culture conventions in the world.

This role is a great fit for motivated individuals who appreciate teamwork, reliability, and being part of a large-scale event environment. Day Porters will wear their own black pants (no leggings) and black or dark brown closed-toe shoes, while PrideStaff will provide an official event t-shirt during orientation. This role is a perfect stepping stone for those looking to build event experience, develop communication skills, and contribute to a fun and dynamic public event, all while earning competitive hourly wages in a short-term employment position at San Diego’s premier convention venue.
