Requirements:

Applicant must hold a valid driver’s license.

Schedule:

There is no typical day, as each day can bring a new event and a new approach.  However, there are consistent requirements during the week.

A typical Tuesday would involve a morning Scene Shop meeting to receive communication on upcoming designs and goal setting.

Saturday involves loading in all rental items (bars, furniture, stages, drape, etc.) and installing a lighting design. The venue can be a hotel ballroom, a banquet hall, an outdoor tent, or many other different on-site event locations.  If all goes well, the event load-in is completed by 3 pm, and there is a break for the day.  A return would be between 10:30 pm and midnight to unload and strike the event into the trucks. Every effort is taken to remove events the next day. Two days a week off is the norm.

The year will present our high season and low season.  The low season is January to April, where hours are generally Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.  The high season is May through December, where hours are usually Tuesday through Saturday from 8 am to 5-6 pm, and intense flexibility is needed for events that will happen mid-week or Sunday during this busy time of year. 

Ideal Candidate:

We are merely looking for a teachable, motivated, hardworking, self-sufficient, team player, and a pleasant individual to join our team.  If you have technical theater skills, that would be a plus but not a deal-breaker. No college degree is required. Reliable, consistent transportation is required. Hours will vary, therefore personal transportation is mandatory.

Benefits:

Pay begins at 21.00 with periodic pay increases based on merit. Time and a half for all hours over 40 in a week is paid. Room to advance.  Paid time off (PTO). Health and dental insurance is offered upon the start date. Frequent company meals provided. After one year of employment, a 401K retirement plan is available.

*The ideal applicant will be willing to grow with the position, have a  flexible schedule, be adaptable to change, available to travel, and must have a positive, upbeat attitude. A great deal of time has been made to cultivate a positive and pleasant working team environment.  If an applicant has a negative outlook, does not desire to be a team player, cannot adapt to a change in plan, or generally is unmotivated, this position is not the right fit. Drug and background testing is administered and required.

*additional helpful skills would be comfortableness driving a box truck or a willingness to learn.
