We are currently seeking Event Operations Assistants to join our vibrant team for the summer festival season and beyond. This hourly, non-exempt role starts at $17 per hour, with potential for increased rates depending on experience and technical skills. The position offers an excellent opportunity for individuals eager to work in a dynamic, hands-on event environment where no two days are alike. Event Operations Assistants will play a crucial role in supporting the setup, execution, and breakdown of various events. This includes assistance with loading and unloading materials, organizing supplies, and supporting core event functions such as stage, lighting, and audio operations. The role involves physical labor that requires lifting up to 50 pounds and working in various weather conditions, both indoors and outdoors. Successful candidates must demonstrate dependability, punctuality, and professionalism while collaborating with team members, clients, and the public.

In addition to physical tasks, Event Operations Assistants must be adaptable, able to follow detailed instructions, and communicate effectively, ensuring smooth event operations.

This role offers a unique glimpse into the live event production world, making it ideal for those passionate about concerts, festivals, and large-scale productions. Candidates with interests or experience in theater, festivals, warehouse operations, or technical fields such as carpentry, lighting, audio, AV, or rigging will find this position particularly rewarding. While prior experience is preferred, a positive attitude, eagerness to learn, and a willingness to be trained in company systems and safety practices are equally valued. A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record is advantageous, especially for roles involving driving vans or small box trucks.
