WANTED: Event Labourers / Marquee Installers

Join WA’s Fastest-Growing Events Crew.

Sick of boring labouring jobs where every day feels the same?

If you’re tired of:

• Working with crews that don’t communicate, don’t care, and don’t grow
• Job-to-job uncertainty, last-minute rosters, and bosses who don’t plan ahead
• Getting stuck on work sites where no one appreciates the effort you put in
• Feeling like just another number instead of part of a proper team

Then keep reading — because this might be the most important job ad you’ll read this year.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

At The Fun Depot & Spuds Marquee Hire, we offer something most labouring jobs don’t:

Fun, Consistency, growth, and a crew that actually has each other’s back.

You’ll join a company that:

• Works year-round (not just seasonal peaks)
• Grows leaders from within — almost all of our team leaders started as labourers
• Gives you variety — weddings one day, festivals the next, regional trips when you want them
• Respects your time, your effort, and your future

This isn’t “just a labouring job” — it’s skilled marquee building, problem-solving, teamwork, and taking pride in creating structures thousands of people will enjoy.

About Us

We’re Spuds Marquee Hire, part of a wider family of event companies including The Fun Depot.

For more than a decade, we’ve helped build some of WA’s favourite weddings, festivals, corporate events, and regional activations. Our team culture is simple:
Work hard, look after each other, operate like pros, and have a laugh while doing it.

We’re a growing, stable operation with massive plans for the future — and we want reliable, hands-on people who want long-term opportunities, not just another gig.

The Role

You’ll be part of our Event & Marquee Install Crew, working across Perth and occasionally regional WA.

You Will:

• Set up and pack down marquees, event structures, carnival rides and bouncy castles.
• Work with aluminium beams, legs, keder roofs, walls, anchors and full structural systems
• Load and unload trucks with tools, equipment, and materials
• Work safely following site instructions and team leader direction
• Solve problems on-site and help ensure builds are completed to a high standard
• Occasionally assist our sister company with rides, inflatables and event support

We Need People Who:

• Are reliable, hardworking, and ready for physical outdoor work
• Have a valid driver’s licence
• Are available Monday–Friday, with regular weekend work.
• Work well in a team and enjoy getting things done

Bonus Points For:

• Experience in marquees, scaffold, rigging, construction or event builds
• White Card
• Forklift licence
• Ability to use hand tools and follow site plans
• A problem-solver mindset

Benefits & Opportunities

• Variety Every Week — different sites, different builds, different challenges
• Stable Hours — consistent workflow all year, not just event season
• Pathway to Leadership — team leader, truck driver, site supervisor roles available
• Regional Work (Optional) — earn more on away jobs if you want the extra hours
• Work With a Great Crew — no egos, no slackers, just people who take pride in what they do
• See Your Work Come to Life — weddings, festivals, corporate events, major activations

Final Word & How to Apply

We know our greatest strength is our people. Nearly all our long-term team members stay because they value growth, teamwork, stability, and being part of a crew that actually cares.

If you’re someone who wants to build cool things, learn real skills, and be part of a team that appreciates your effort — we want to hear from you.
