General Event Production and Stagehand Crew

General Event Production and Stagehand Crew

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.

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. Many events will require you to work overnights + weekends.

Whether you are interested in pursuing a career in Event Production, or are simply seeking a flexible work schedule or supplemental income, this job can be a great fit. 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. Some Crew Members work a single shift a year, while others work 40+ hour weeks during our busy season.

Motivated crew members will have more consistent work opportunities, access to additional training, increased responsibilities, and pay raises.
