Our event requires approximately three weeks of hands-on setup, including set construction, installation, décor, lighting, sound and general site preparation.

- Electrical and/or lighting experience
- Audio/sound equipment or installation
- General construction, maintenance or skilled labour
- Large-scale event setup or teardown

- Are equally comfortable being given a task and completing it independently
- Work well as part of a team
- Can adapt and pivot when plans or priorities change

This position is initially for the three-week event setup period. There may be opportunities for additional paid work during the actual run of the event for the right candidates, depending on event needs and performance during setup.
If you enjoy building things, solving problems and seeing a large-scale event come together from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.
