Event Lighting Crew – Casual

About the role

This is a hands-on, physical role ideal for someone who enjoys working outdoors, is confident on ladders, and has great attention to detail. You'll be part of the crew that brings each event to life – from collecting lighting gear at our warehouse, to installing and testing it at the venue, then returning to pack down and return everything to base. You'll also be interacting with venue operators, stylists, and clients – so strong communication and presentation skills are key.
