Production Crew

We’re looking for reliable, hands‑on freelance build crew to support the on‑site construction, installation, and breakdown of exhibition stands across a range of venues and event formats. This is a practical, fast‑moving role suited to people who enjoy working on live sites, take pride in high‑quality finishes, and understand the teamwork and pace required in exhibitions.

You’ll work as part of the site build team, following direction from the Site Manager / Production Manager, helping deliver stands safely, on time, and to spec.

• Assist with the on-site build, assembly, and finishing of exhibition stands, structures, and event environments.
• Load in and unload materials, components, graphics, and tools, keeping storage areas organised and safe.
• Build modular and custom stand elements from plans and instructions (walls, floors, lighting rigs, furniture, AV, graphics, etc.).
• Support with installing branded graphics, vinyls, fascias, light boxes, and signage to a clean, accurate finish.
• Carry out basic carpentry, fixing, and fit‑out tasks as required (drilling, fixing, levelling, aligning, etc.).
• Work collaboratively with other crew, suppliers, and venue teams to meet tight build schedules.
• Keep the work area tidy and hazard‑free throughout build and breakdown.
• Follow all Health & Safety procedures, PPE requirements, and venue regulations.
• Assist with snagging and final checks to ensure the stand is presentation‑ready.
• Support de‑rig and load out efficiently after the event, packing materials carefully for return transport.
• Escalate any issues, damages, or missing components to the Site Manager quickly.

• Previous on-site build / crew experience within exhibitions, events, staging, set build, or similar environments.
• Confident using basic hand and power tools safely (e.g., drills, drivers, saws, spirit levels).
• Ability to follow technical drawings, stand plans, and build instructions.
• Strong practical mindset with good attention to detail and pride in workmanship.
• Comfortable working on your feet for long periods and handling physical tasks / heavy lifting.
• Proven reliability, punctuality, and a professional attitude on client sites.
• Good communication skills and ability to work as part of a fast‑paced crew.
• Solid understanding of on‑site Health & Safety expectations; CSCS or similar site safety certification is a plus (where applicable).
• Flexible availability for early starts, late finishes, and multi‑day builds.
• Own PPE preferred (safety boots, hi‑vis, gloves, etc.).
• Full driving licence beneficial but not essential (depending on venue/location).
