The University of Lethbridge Building Maintenance Department is seeking a skilled Events Set Up Worker (Facilities Operations
5) to join our team as soon as possible. In this role, you’ll report to the Manager of Building Maintenance and Grounds and be responsible for fulfilling work orders related to event setups and takedowns.

Events at our university often have tight schedules, demanding excellent organizational skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. You’ll manage deliveries of event equipment like tables and chairs on a daily basis, ensuring efficient storage room inventories to promptly respond to event requests.

This role offers a dynamic environment where you’ll contribute to the smooth operation of university events while supporting broader maintenance efforts.
