Marquee and Event Setup Supervisor or Leading Hand

Elderberry Event Hire Pty Ltd - Geelong VIC

Elderberry Event Hire is looking for a motivated Marquee & Event Setup Supervisor / Leading Hand to join our growing team in Geelong.

You'll work alongside our crew setting up and packing down events, while helping keep the team organised and the job moving.

Marquee or event experience will be highly regarded, but isn't essential. If you're practical, a strong worker and have experience in construction, landscaping, trades, logistics or another hands-on industry, we're happy to provide training for the right person.

It's a hands-on role first and foremost, with the opportunity to take the lead on more jobs as your experience and confidence grow.

Why join Elderberry?

$32-45 per hour + super, depending on experience and skills

Permanent full-time position

9-day fortnight

Option to bank additional hours as time in lieu, giving you greater flexibility for longer breaks and holidays

Varied work across different events and locations

Training and development

Opportunity to progress within the business

Supportive, down-to-earth team environment

What you'll be doing

Setting up and dismantling marquees and event flooring

Installing lighting, furniture and event equipment to site plans, using hand and power tools as required

Helping organise the crew and day's workload

Loading, unloading and storing equipment

Working to OHS standards and venue-specific requirements





Keeping an eye on quality, presentation and timelines

Working with clients and venues and following site plans

About you

We're looking for someone who:

Enjoys practical, hands-on work and is able to lift heavy equipment

Is reliable and has a good work ethic

Works well as part of a team

Can think on their feet and solve problems

Is willing to learn and take on more responsibility over time

Has the potential to lead by example

A current driver's licence is essential.

Experience with trailers, trucks, forklifts, machinery, power tools or event equipment would be a bonus.

Experience is key to us, but the right person is more important than having the perfect résumé.

About us

Elderberry Event Hire specialises in marquee and event installations, transforming empty sites into complete event spaces with marquees, flooring, lighting, furniture and event infrastructure.

We're a practical, hands-on team and want this role to provide a good balance between interesting, rewarding work and having time to enjoy life outside of work.

Not quite ready for the Supervisor / Leading Hand role?

We're also interested in hearing from reliable, hard-working people for casual Event Setup Crew positions. Previous event experience isn't essential for our crew positions, and there are opportunities to learn and progress within Elderberry Event Hire.
