Job description

Want to work at Scotlands biggest and best outdoor events?

Apex Bars & Events is hiring Event Staff for the 2026 festive event season. We run the bars at some of the country's biggest, best-known and most exciting outdoor events. We're looking for people who want to be part of it.

What we're offering

• £13.45 per hour, plus 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay (paid every shift, itemised on your payslip)
• Based at the St Enoch Winter Wonderland
• Real career progression: Event Staff to Team Leader to Assistant Event Manager to Event Manager. We promote from within first
• Personal Licence Holder (SCPLH) training fully funded by Apex when you're ready
• Full induction, training and ongoing support
• Pension auto-enrolment, sick pay, expenses paid
• Be part of a small, ambitious Scottish company at the start of something good

What we're looking for

• Aged 18 or over (legal minimum to serve alcohol unsupervised)
• Right to work in the UK
• Reliable, presentable, ready to work hard
• Comfortable with customers, including the odd difficult one
• Confident asking for ID and refusing service when you need to (we'll train you on the rest)
• Available evenings, weekends and during summer event peaks (especially June through August)
• Bar or hospitality experience is great, but not essential. We'll train the right people

What it's actually like

Outdoor events hospitality isn't a desk job. You'll be on your feet, often in the rain, sometimes until late. Set-up days are heavy. Service days are intense. Break-down at midnight in a wet field is its own particular pleasure.

But the events are spectacular. The teams are tight. And when you've poured 600 pints in three hours at a concert and the headliner walks on stage, you'll know exactly why we do it.

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
