Brand New Role Within the Company - Will suit those from an Event Site or Field Based Project Management Background - maybe a Marquee Foreman, Festival Site Manager or Very Senior Crew Chief, that said.... we will consider any background if you have the right attitude, life experience, confidence and approach to life.
You will be fit and strong ..there will be days when you have to build 60 gazebos in the pouring rain or even boiling sun… or unload 1000 crowd barriers from lorrys because the forklift isn’t available.. understand that the summer months in the Event World have some long days.... above all you need a positive mental attitude - with lots of banter!
Armadillo Gear is one of the UK’s fastest-growing suppliers of equipment to the Film, TV and Events industry. Moving into 2027 - we have massive expansion on the cards from our new 10 acre depot in Chester - so we need your help!
