Looking for flexible work, great pay and the chance to be part of some of Melbourne's biggest events? We've got you covered!

We're on the lookout for energetic, reliable and hands‑on people to join our Event & Expo Crew!

Whether you're travelling Australia on a Working Holiday Visa, looking to pick up some extra shifts, or simply love hands‑on work, this could be the perfect opportunity to earn some money while being part of an exciting industry!

Think stadiums, exhibitions, event setups and behind‑the‑scenes action – no two days need to be the same!

What's the Job?

You'll be part of the crew helping bring events to life! From setting up huge exhibition displays to getting venues ready for their next big event, you'll be involved in the action from start to finish.

Your duties will include:
  • Building and dismantling expo stands, exhibition booths and displays.

Previous expo or exhibition stand‑building experience is highly advantageous!
When Can You Work?

We offer a variety of shifts to suit different schedules:

  • Monday to Sunday availability.

  • Day, afternoon and night shifts.

  • Weekend work, particularly event bump‑outs.

  • Flexible, casual shifts depending on event schedules.

Please note:

Work can be sporadic, so flexibility and availability at short notice are important.

What's In It For You?

$35 –$50 per hour depending on the shift!

  • Great hourly rates.

  • Flexible casual work.

  • Meet new people and work as part of a fun team.

  • Get involved in exciting events and exhibitions.

  • Perfect opportunity to earn while travelling Australia!

We're after people who:
  • Are physically fit and happy to roll up their sleeves.

  • Have a positive, can‑do attitude.

  • Are reliable, punctual and ready to get stuck in.

  • Can follow instructions and work well in a team.

  • Have flexible availability, including weekends.

  • Have a valid driver's licence and reliable transport (highly desirable).

Bonus points if you have:
  • Previous expo, event or exhibition build experience.

  • Experience building and dismantling exhibition stands or booths.

  • A current White Card.

  • A Forklift Licence with at least 1 year's experience.
