You will be working with the entire rentals team to deliver, set up, tear down, and pick up rentals for the events we have occurring during the rentals season (mid may - mid october). This is a manual labor position that requires you to be able to lift heavy and bulky objects. While the locations we deliver rentals to are beautiful & scenic, the work is hard. Please do not apply for this position if you are not comfortable with hard, manual labor.

Your tasks will be to:

Set up and remove party rental equipment in all weather conditions.

Primary working days are Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Mondays. Occasionally working on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays as needed based on the delivery and pick up workload over a given weekend. Your schedule for the season from mid May - mid October will be set by April 30th so you have plenty of time to coordinate with child care and other obligations as needed.

*All of the positions listed above are eligible to become full time, year round positions. The availability to become a year round employee with us will be discussed towards the end of the season in September or October, and will be wholly based on the work ethic and attitude that is observed while working with us.

Pay & Benefits

STARTING PAY

All positions will start at $19.14/hour for the first 80 hours you are working with us. We do this because there is an enormous amount of on the job training that needs to be done and it would not be fair for you to be making the same amount as our experienced team members.
