This variety and depth of services position Events Unlimited as a leading provider in the event industry, dedicated to creating memorable experiences for clients through innovation and exceptional service.

Events Unlimited fosters a culture of integrity, reliability, and hard work, prioritizing hiring individuals who are accountable and dedicated. The company prides itself on maintaining a team of professionals who take responsibility seriously and are committed to delivering top-tier outcomes for clients. As the events industry demands flexibility, responsiveness, and teamwork, Events Unlimited values employees who are willing to adapt, work diligently under pressure, and contribute positively in dynamic environments.

The Office and Events Assistant role at Events Unlimited is an integral part of the events team, providing essential support to both internal operations and customer-facing activities. This position is designed for individuals who thrive in varied and fast-paced settings, balancing administrative duties with hands-on event support. The role requires a proactive approach to multitasking and prioritizing tasks, as well as flexibility in terms of working hours and responsibilities. Regular early mornings, evenings, weekends, and occasional travel are expected to support event execution and client needs effectively.

Key responsibilities include managing errands such as vehicle-based tasks, handling packing, shipping, and tracking of packages, and executing sales support activities. The Office and Events Assistant also manages customer service interactions, including regular confirmation calls, phone system management, and professional email correspondence. Additional duties encompass basic office maintenance like coffee preparation, cleaning, and garbage disposal, alongside bookkeeping support and marketing assistance. This diverse scope of work demands a positive and professional demeanor, excellent communication skills, and a willingness to engage in physical labor when necessary.

Candidates for this role should possess prior experience with multi-line phone systems and be adept at using Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel. A valid car and an excellent attendance record are essential, as is the ability to remain composed under stressful or unique circumstances. The successful applicant will be flexible, ready to adapt to last-minute schedule changes, and prepared to take on any task—from administrative work to heavy lifting—as required by company and event demands. Background checks and drug testing are mandatory conditions for employment, reinforcing the company's commitment to safety and professionalism.
