Want to work at Scotlands biggest and best outdoor events?

What we're offering
- £13.45 per hour, plus 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay (paid every shift, itemised on your payslip)
- Work at iconic Scottish venues: the Royal Highland Show, the Kelpies, the Mound during the Fringe, Commonweath Games fanzones and more
- 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)
- 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.
How to apply
Send us a short message telling us about yourself, any relevant experience (or none, that's fine too), and which events most appeal to you.
