Lighting Crew needed for Weddings and Events (san rafael)
HI!
Who we are:
We are a SUPER FUN wedding and event planning and coordination company that offers string and bistro lighting to weddings, events and parties.
Who are we looking for:
We are looking for a truly awesome crew that can get in there and set up and tear down the event quickly and safely. English speaking is highly preferred but a faithful, loyal and honest work integrity is a must.
What we need:
We are seeking to hire qualified technicians who have knowledge in lighting design and have electrical experiance (outages/breaker issues, trouble shooting) and labor techs who can set up and problem solve lighting attachments at the venue or the space with wire, clamps, hooks or poles. We might not always have poles or hooks to attach the strand of lights to so being creative and coming up with a stable and safe alternative on how to install and string the lights is a must!
We are looking to fill 3 roles:
Crew member 1: set up and installation to string the lights on the property, unload the truck, test the strands, etc
Crew member 2: on call tech to stay in the event area or onsite incase anything goes wrong during the event
Crew member 3: tear down crew to remove the lights and all hardwire, pack up the gear and load it in the truck
*For the right person crew 1 and 2 or crew 2 and 3 can be rolled into one person if qualified and available to work both shifts.
What is the job:
-Install and tear down our custom lighting for weddings and private events all over the bay
-Stay on site or be on call for the entire duration of the event incase of outages or problems
-Properly and safely pack all the lighting equipment away at the end of the event and load and unload vans and trucks with the equipment

-You must be honest, reliable, loyal and punctual
-Ability to lift at least 50 lbs or more and climb a ladder multiple times is essential
-Ability to come up with creative ideas and troubleshoot quickly to solve any problem and get the job done
-We are a fun team and we take care of our crew so you must be a team player and want to be with us
-You will see guests, clients and other vendors so you must be very friendly and represent our brand
-Because you will be in the presence of other vendors and clients you must have a clean appearance
-We LOVE what we do, so you should too. Just do a great job and take pride in your work
-We want to make sure we are doing the best job we can and do it the best way we can while making sure we have a safe product and the installation is right. Having a strong willingness to learn and ask for help is important.
Things we look highly on:

Work is paid per event and events are typically in the evenings and on weekends Fri-Sun. Often installation will occur the day before the event and a check up of the equipment will be required the day of the event to ensure it's working properly and secure. Tear down can occasionally be the same night as the event or next day.
