We work on concerts, festivals, corporate events, film productions, weddings and special events throughout Southern California and beyond.

We are looking for a reliable, hardworking and organized Production Warehouse & Event Crew Technician to join our team.

This is not a typical packing or fulfillment warehouse position. You will work hands-on with professional event-production equipment and have the opportunity to learn staging, AV, LED video walls, lighting, truss and live-event production.

For the right person, there is an opportunity to advance into a Production Technician, Driver or Crew Lead position.

RESPONSIBILITIESWarehouse

• Prepare equipment for upcoming jobs based on job orders
• Pull and stage equipment for outgoing productions
• Load and unload company trucks
• Double-check equipment before jobs leave the warehouse
• Count and inspect equipment when it returns
• Identify and report damaged or missing equipment

Event Production

• Willing to learn new equipment and skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Available for occasional early mornings, evenings, nights and weekends based on production schedules

A valid driver's license is strongly preferred.

Experience in any of the following is a plus, but not required:

Event production, staging, AV, lighting, LED video walls, construction, warehouse operations, equipment rental, moving, trucking, rigging, scenic fabrication or general labor.

We are willing to train the right person.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Experience is valuable, but reliability, attitude and work ethic are extremely important to us.

You do not need to know everything about event production on your first day. We can teach you our equipment, systems and production procedures.

We are looking for someone who:

• Shows up on time and is ready to work
• Takes responsibility for their work
• Pays attention to details
• Takes care of company equipment
• Works well with others
• Takes direction and communicates well
• Wants to learn new skills
• Takes pride in doing a job correctly

Strong employees will have opportunities to advance into Production Technician, Driver and Crew Lead positions, with additional responsibilities and earning opportunities.
