• Excellent written and spoken English and high attention to detail, so make sure your CV has no spelling or grammar errors.
• Communication skills: Event co-ordinators talk to clients, listen to their needs and present ideas and solutions. They work with suppliers, contractors, employees, venue staff and many other parties at the same time. Customer service and interpersonal skills are required.
• Calm under pressure: Things can go wrong. Event co-ordinators need to remain calm during the high pressure of an event.
• Negotiation Skills: You’ll be working out prices with clients and contractors.
• Organization and Problem-Solving Skills: Co-ordinators need to stay focused, organized and be able to solve issues so the event goes off without a hitch.

This demanding role is one that calls for high attention to detail but one you’ll find very rewarding. As well as first-class training, there are clear career-development opportunities. The Director in charge of this department started in this role.
