• Perform other relevant duties as assigned by management.

Values

• Respect: Be considerate of one's self, one another, the team, clients, vendors, venues & our equipment.
• Service: Exceed expectations. Be the problem solver. Be a partner not just a vendor.
• Integrity: By ensuring actions are consistent with words. Earn the trust of both internal and external customers, by dedication, responsibility, consistency, honesty and truthfulness in relationships.
• Creativity: We're passionate, and we love tough problems and new challenges. You don't hear a lot of "I don't know how" or "I can't." When faced with a hurdle, we come together and strive to be clever, original, inventive and cutting edge.
• Growth: We recognize that people are one of our key assets and we should value their contributions, reward them fairly, and develop them to their fullest potential. Our goal is to provide leadership opportunities for further growth, thus helping our people realize their career aspirations.
