Site Supervisor — Event & Marquee Hire
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Site Supervisor to lead our installation crews on-site, from marquee bump-in through to pack-down. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll be the point person on the ground — coordinating the crew, keeping the client happy, and making sure every job goes up safely, on time, and to spec.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You won't just be managing from the sidelines; you'll be in the thick of it, guiding the team through structural assembly, flooring, walling, and all the trimmings that go with a professional event fit-out. We service the full length of WA, working across luxury weddings, festivals, corporate events, and everything in between — so no two jobs look quite the same, and you'll need to be able to size up a site and lead confidently with minimal oversight.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and supervising installation and pack-down crews across single and multi-day events
- Reading and working from site plans and job sheets to ensure the correct structures, sizes, and accessories are installed
- Conducting on-site risk assessments and enforcing safe work practices (manual handling, working at heights, weather calls)
- Liaising directly with clients and venue staff on-site to resolve issues and manage expectations
- Checking equipment against packing lists before and after jobs, and flagging damaged or missing stock
- Coordinating logistics with the warehouse and transport team to keep jobs running on schedule
- Training and mentoring junior crew members on correct installation techniques
- Reporting job completion, incidents, and stock discrepancies back to the operations team
What We're Looking For
- Marquee installation experience is required — you know structures, flooring, and walling inside out
- Ability to self-lead is essential — many jobs will have you running the site with minimal day-to-day oversight, so you need to make sound calls on the spot and know when to loop in the Operations Manager
- Strong understanding of site safety practices and willingness to hold others to the same standard
- Comfortable with physical work and long or irregular hours, including weekends
- Willingness to travel for jobs across WA, sometimes with overnight stays for regional events
- Own transport is a must — early starts and late finishes are part of the job, and public transport won't always line up
- A valid driver's licence (forklift/truck licence a bonus)
- Calm under pressure — weather changes and last-minute client requests are part of the job
- Great communication skills; you'll be the face of the company on-site, whether it's a backyard wedding or a large-scale festival
What We Offer
- A genuinely friendly, down-to-earth team environment
- Variety — from intimate luxury weddings to large-scale festivals, no two weeks look the same
- Competitive hourly rate, penalty rates for weekends, nights, and PH work, per diem rate for overnight stays.
- Licenses/ticket opportunities.
