Forklift Operators, Exhibition Stand Builders & General Labourers

About Us

Seasonal Sphere Services is a growing Queensland labour hire company specialising in events, exhibitions and on-site logistics.

With over a decade of experience in the exhibition industry, I've built Seasonal Sphere Services around creating a reliable team that clients can depend on and people genuinely enjoy working for.

We're a small, hands-on company where you'll deal directly with management, not a large agency where you're just another number.

Every project is different. One week you could be helping deliver a major exhibition at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, the next building exhibition stands on the Gold Coast, unloading trucks or travelling interstate for a large event.

We're looking for reliable, practical people to join our growing crew across several roles.
