A unique and iconic venue, St George Sailing Club is the idyllic year-round setting for unforgettable events.

Located on the sandy banks of the Georges River, a stone’s throw from Botany Bay, our spectacular overwater outlook has guests talking long after their event is over.

From large-scale events and corporate meetings to weddings, milestone birthdays, media events, product launches and all of life’s celebrations, our Events team brings a diverse range of experiences to life.

We are currently looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Casual Events Coordinator to join our team and help create memorable events at this iconic waterfront venue.

You’ll build robust relationships with clients, understand their vision and confidently guide them through our event spaces, menus, beverage options and event requirements.

About you

You’re warm, personable and confident, with a natural ability to connect with people and make them feel looked after.

You understand that great events are built on the details. You can take a client’s initial idea,

You’ll ideally bring:

Most importantly, you’ll genuinely enjoy creating memorable experiences, building relationships with clients and working collaboratively with our team to bring great events to life.

This is an opportunity to build your events career in an incredible waterfront environment while becoming part of a busy and supportive hospitality team.

Reporting to the Events & Weddings Manager, you’ll work across everything from intimate celebrations and corporate events to weddings and large‑scale Club events like Melbourne Cup and New Years Eve, giving you plenty of variety and the opportunity to take real ownership of the client journey and event planning process .

If you’re organised, energetic, commercially minded and passionate about events , we’d love to hear from you.
