Summer Concert Stage Work Available - €15 per hour, zero-hour contract
Show Inc Production Services is looking for extra workers for our upcoming Summer festival season. This part-time work would suit students that might be interested in getting into specialised music industry event work in the future; it's a good opportunity to learn about and participate in the setting up of large concerts and festivals. Work at the likes of Slane and 3Arena concerts throughout June, as well as some other festivals and concerts throughout the Summer.The job is quite active, but there are no restrictions to it; manual handling training will be provided, and you don't just have to be a 'big strong lad' to do it - everyone is welcome to apply.
€15 per hour for minimum 5 hour shifts. It's zero-hour contract stuff, so there's no guaranteed working hours per week, it's on an 'as needed' basis. The longer people can stick with it, the more reliable it tends to get.
