Athens, Georgia, United States The Classic Center Full time $32,000 - $64,000 per year

Join Our Team: Arena Operations (Part-Time/Evening Shift)
Location: The Classic Center – Athens, GA
Department: Convention Center

Pay: $15.85/hr 

Do you enjoy hands-on work, seeing events come to life, and working in a fast-paced, team-driven environment? The Classic Center is looking for a dependable, energetic person to join our Convention Center Operations team. From conventions to community celebrations, you'll help transform the facility from one event to the next — and see your work in action when the crowd arrives.

What to Expect:

  • Full-time role averaging between 15-32 hours per week 
  • Evening shifts vary throughout the week and weekends

What You'll Do:

  • Work alongside other event staff to set up and convert the campus for events
  • Build event layouts based on diagrams and manager instructions — everything from tables and chairs to stages and tradeshows
  • Prioritize safety in every task, following training and best practices
  • Assist with event preparations, day-of-event needs, and post-event tear-down
  • Keep storage areas clean, organized, and efficient
  • Store tools and equipment properly after use and assist with annual inventory
  • Pitch in on other duties as assigned — every event is different

What We're Looking For:

  • At least one year in a similar role (arena, convention center, stadium, or theater) preferred
  • Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, holidays, and extended hours when needed
  • Reliable transportation
  • Physical ability to lift 25–50 lbs., walk extensively, and bend/squat/kneel during shifts
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a forklift license and a valid state driver's license
  • A team player with a strong work ethic and attention to detail

Why You'll Love It Here:
In this role, no two days are the same. You'll work behind the scenes to make events happen — from setup to final sweep — and see firsthand how your work shapes the guest experience. You'll be part of a crew that gets things done and takes pride in a job well done.

The candidate who is selected for this position will have to successfully pass a drug screening and a criminal background check.
