Join WA’s Fastest-Growing Events Crew.
Sick of boring labouring jobs where every day feels the same?
If you’re tired of:
- Working with crews that don’t communicate, don’t care, and don’t grow
- Job-to-job uncertainty, last-minute rosters, and bosses who don’t plan ahead
- Getting stuck on work sites where no one appreciates the effort you put in
- Feeling like just another number instead of part of a proper team
Then keep reading — because this might be the most important job ad you’ll read this year.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
At The Fun Depot & Spuds Marquee Hire, we offer something most labouring jobs don’t:
Fun, Consistency, growth, and a crew that actually has each other’s back.
You’ll join a company that:
- Works year-round (not just seasonal peaks)
- Grows leaders from within — almost all of our team leaders started as labourers
- Gives you variety — weddings one day, festivals the next, regional trips when you want them
- Respects your time, your effort, and your future
This isn’t “just a labouring job” — it’s skilled marquee building, problem-solving, teamwork, and taking pride in creating structures thousands of people will enjoy.
About Us
We’re Spuds Marquee Hire, part of a wider family of event companies including The Fun Depot.
For more than a decade, we’ve helped build some of WA’s favourite weddings, festivals, corporate events, and regional activations. Our team culture is simple:
Work hard, look after each other, operate like pros, and have a laugh while doing it.
We’re a growing, stable operation with massive plans for the future — and we want reliable, hands-on people who want long-term opportunities, not just another gig.
