Viking Events is looking for a hands-on Team Leader to join our Adelaide depot.

The person we need will coordinate our small team and ensure smooth operations at the depot - leading by example, communicating clearly and getting their hands dirty.

This is not an office-based position. You will be a senior working member of the crew, helping repair, prepare, clean, and load equipment.

What You’ll Do

Allocate and follow up on the crew’s daily tasks

Help ensure the crew follows company processes and safety requirements

Work alongside the crew in the depot and on event sites

Make sure equipment is cleaned, repaired and ready for hire

Complete basic repairs and maintenance using hand and power tools

Load and unload trucks and trailers

Assist with deliveries, collections and event installations

Help keep the depot clean, safe and organised

Check that daily tasks are completed properly

Identify damaged or missing equipment

Report staffing, safety, equipment and maintenance issues to the General Manager

You will not be responsible for sales, quoting or customer account management.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a practical all-rounder who likes to work hard, can give transparent direction to their team and provide updates to the General Manager.

The right person will have:

Previous experience as a team leader, leading hand or senior crew member

Experience working in a depot, yard, or other hands-on environment

Confidence giving clear daily instructions

A mechanical mindset and experience using tools

Practical repair and maintenance skills

Good judgement and practical problem-solving skills

Strong safety awareness

Reliable transport to Para Hills West

The right to work in Australia

An MR truck licence and LF forklift licence are highly regarded but are not essential. We may assist the right person with obtaining these licences.





Experience in events is helpful but not required. We welcome applicants from equipment hire, construction, civil works, farming, transport, warehousing, waste services, maintenance and other hands-on industries.

What We Offer

A hands-on leadership role with clear responsibilities

Direct communication and support from management

On-the-job training in our equipment and operating procedures

Varied work across depot operations and major South Australian events

Uniform and personal protective equipment
