Job Description

Groundwork Operations, LLC provides general and specialized crew to set-up and break-down indoor and outdoor events in multiple regions. Our team works projects of all sizes, from small events that a single crew member can set up on their own, to large scale events such as the NY Marathon where we have dozens of shifts available on a daily basis for several weeks.

We are currently recruiting in the Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester areas for a specific project with various shift opportunities on Monday the 15th, Tuesday the 16th and Sunday the 21st of April 2024.

There may also be additional opportunities to travel to the NYC, New Jersey, Connecticut, Boston & Philadelphia areas for work. This job is gig-based. You are applying for the opportunity to be included in our database of crew members who are offered individual shifts based on the varying, seasonal needs of the clients we serve.

In addition to seasoned event production professionals, our current crew roster includes artists, content creators, graphic designers, students, and entrepreneurs with a wide range of life experiences and personal pursuits.
