Job description

Ready to step up? Bring your drive. We'll help build your skills.

Enjoy organising the moving parts, working with people and getting stuck in? This could be your next move.

Horner Recruitment is partnering with Valiant, an established national events and styling business, to find an emerging Project Manager for its Melbourne operations team.

From the Australian Open to the Grand Prix and corporate events, Valiant transforms spaces through furniture and styling. This is your opportunity to get behind the scenes and help bring it all together.

You don't need to arrive as an experienced Project Manager. Bring practical experience, strong organisation and a willingness to learn. Valiant will provide onboarding, training and support as you build confidence and take on greater responsibility.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with the Operations Manager, Account Managers and Warehouse team, you'll:

• Help coordinate furniture, transport, equipment and crews for deliveries and installations
• Support event setups and pack-downs, building towards coordinating onsite teams
• Work from floorplans and schedules to get the right furniture into the right place
• Communicate with clients and venue contacts to keep jobs running smoothly
• Pitch in with warehouse duties, loading, unloading and furniture placement
• Learn Valiant's systems and processes, maintaining accuracy, safety and service

This is an active, hands-on role, combining coordination with practical work in the warehouse and at event venues.

What you'll bring

You might come from events, staging, furniture installation, warehousing, logistics or removals and be ready for more responsibility.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• A confident, professional approach with clients and colleagues
• Initiative, reliability and practical problem-solving skills
• Confidence using technology and learning new systems
• The ability to safely lift and move furniture weighing up to 20kg, with regular loading, unloading and onsite setup work
• A willingness to learn, take ownership and support the team

MR and LO licences are advantageous, with support available to obtain relevant tickets as you develop in the role.

Why Valiant?

• Training and support: Learn from an experienced Operations Manager who has progressed through the business
• Room to grow: Develop your project coordination and onsite leadership skills
• Recognisable events: See your work come together at major Melbourne venues
• A welcoming team: Work with approachable people who help each other out
• Employee perks: Birthday leave, Quarterly Rest & Reset Days, Staff discounts, Candidate referral program, and more!
