Site Supervisor — Event & Marquee Hire
About the RoleWe're looking for an experienced Site Supervisor to lead our installation crews on-site, from marquee bump-in through to pack-down.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll be the point person on the ground — coordinating the crew, keeping the client happy, and making sure every job goes up safely, on time, and to spec.
This is a hands-on leadership role.
You won't just be managing from the sidelines; you'll be in the thick of it, guiding the team through structural assembly, flooring, walling, and all the trimmings that go with a professional event fit-out.
We service the full length of WA, working across luxury weddings, festivals, corporate events, and everything in between — so no two jobs look quite the same, and you'll need to be able to size up a site and lead confidently with minimal oversight.

What We're Looking ForMarquee installation experience is required — you know structures, flooring, and walling inside outAbility to self-lead is essential — many jobs will have you running the site with minimal day-to-day oversight, so you need to make sound calls on the spot and know when to loop in the Operations ManagerStrong understanding of site safety practices and willingness to hold others to the same standardComfortable with physical work and long or irregular hours, including weekendsWillingness to travel for jobs across WA, sometimes with overnight stays for regional eventsOwn transport is a must — early starts and late finishes are part of the job, and public transport won't always line upA valid driver's licence (forklift/truck licence a bonus)Calm under pressure — weather changes and last-minute client requests are part of the jobGreat communication skills; you'll be the face of the company on-site, whether it's a backyard wedding or a large-scale festival
