Elderberry Event Hire is looking for a motivated Marquee & Event Setup Supervisor / Leading Hand to join our growing team in Geelong. You'll work alongside our crew setting up and packing down events, while helping keep the team organised and the job moving. Marquee or event experience will be highly regarded, but isn't essential. If you're practical, a strong worker and have experience in construction, landscaping, trades, logistics or another hands-on industry, we're happy to provide training for the right person.
It's a hands-on role first and foremost, with the opportunity to take the lead on more jobs as your experience and confidence grow.
Why join Elderberry?
- $32-45 per hour + super, depending on experience and skills
- Permanent full-time position
- 9-day fortnight
- Option to bank additional hours as time in lieu, giving you greater flexibility for longer breaks and holidays
- Varied work across different events and locations
- Training and development
- Opportunity to progress within the business
- Supportive, down-to-earth team environment
What you'll be doing:
- Setting up and dismantling marquees and event flooring
- Installing lighting, furniture and event equipment to site plans, using hand and power tools as required
- Helping organise the crew and day's workload
- Loading, unloading and storing equipment
- Working to OHS standards and venue-specific requirements
- Keeping an eye on quality, presentation and timelines
- Working with clients and venues and following site plans
About you:
We're looking for someone who:
- Enjoys practical, hands-on work and is able to lift heavy equipment
- Is reliable and has a good work ethic
- Works well as part of a team
- Can think on their feet and solve problems
- Is willing to learn and take on more responsibility over time
- Has the potential to lead by example
A current driver's licence is essential. Experience with trailers, trucks, forklifts, machinery, power tools or event equipment would be a bonus. Experience is important to us, but the right person is more important than having the perfect résumé.
About us:
Elderberry Event Hire specialises in marquee and event installations, transforming empty sites into complete event spaces with marquees, flooring, lighting, furniture and event infrastructure. We're a practical, hands-on team and want this role to provide a good balance between interesting, rewarding work and having time to enjoy life outside of work.
Not quite ready for the Supervisor / Leading Hand role? We're also interested in hearing from reliable, hard-working people for casual Event Setup Crew positions. Previous event experience isn't essential for our crew positions, and there are opportunities to learn and progress within Elderberry Event Hire.
