The Rigging Technician role at Encore is designed for skilled professionals responsible for executing rigging activities within a hospitality or convention center environment.

As a Rigging Technician, individuals will be expected to manage all rigging tools and equipment, verify safety compliance for all hanging points, and facilitate collaboration with other technical trades to maintain a harmonious event set up. The work environment involves exposure to various weather conditions, heights, audio-visual equipment, and electrical components, requiring physical endurance and safety awareness. The company places a strong emphasis on competency areas such as ownership, accountability, decision quality, collaboration, and delivering excellent guest experiences.

Encore offers competitive employment opportunities in dynamic environments involving variable work hours including evenings, weekends, holidays, and on-call availability.

This job also supports diversity and inclusion, offering equal opportunities to veterans, individuals with disabilities, and other protected groups. Through ongoing training and certification, Rigging Technicians are equipped to uphold the highest standards of safety and technical proficiency required in this specialized industry sector.
