Job description

The Job in One LineYou hook up a popcorn trailer, tow it to the event, back it into the spot, and run the show once you're there. Same with our mobile popcorn truck!

About Cactus Corn

We're Arizona's original premium popcorn brand, family-owned since 1998. You may know us from Chase Field. This fall our popcorn truck and trailers are the main event: Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, WestWorld of Scottsdale, the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, high school football, and festivals across the Valley. If there's a crowd, we're set up next to it.

What You're Actually Doing

You're the reason the event happens. Before the show you hook up at our warehouse, tow the trailer or drive the truck to the venue, back it into a tight spot (loading docks, festival rows, parking lots full of people), level it, and get power and product running. During the event you run the station and lead a crew of one to three operators. After the show you break it down, tow it home, and park it clean for the next date.You're also the one who notices the low tire and the missing hitch pin before anyone else does.

What You Must Have

• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record
• Real experience towing a trailer on the freeway and in traffic
• Ability to back a trailer into a tight spot without a spotter doing it for you
• Comfort driving a box-truck-size vehicle
• Weekend and evening availability, a couple of weekends a month through the fall
• Able to lift and move product and stay on your feet for long shifts outdoors
• If you've hauled a food trailer, a boat, a horse trailer, or a work trailer, or you've driven for a mobile business, you're who we're looking for. If you've never backed a trailer, this isn't the post for you. Check out our Mobile Event Operator post instead. We train people up.

Why This Pays More

After short Trial period. This is a lead role. You're responsible for the equipment, the setup, plus tips and commission opportunities. Paid weekly.

The Honest Part

Nights, weekends, and event days. Long hours on your feet outside. Arizona heat in September and cold nights in December. If you want weekday hours, this isn't it. If you like the idea of rolling into a packed festival with a trailer you got there yourself, keep reading.

What You Get

pay, weekly. Tips and commission. First call on the best dates. A direct line to running more trailers and more events as we add them.
