Centric Events | Phoenix, AZ

Corporate Events, Conferences, Concerts, Live Production, Event Rentals

Job Type: Full-Time / Part-Time Opportunities Available

Help lead the setup and execution of professional live events across Arizona.

Centric Events is expanding, and we are seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Event Logistics Lead & Driver to help execute both our live AV productions and our growing event rentals division.

This hands-on role serves as the critical bridge between our warehouse and our client venues across Arizona. You will be responsible for safely transporting gear and rental inventory, leading load-ins and load-outs on-site, and directing crew members to ensure builds are completed on time, safely, and to exact specifications.

Whether you gravitate more toward live event production (audio, video, lighting, staging) or event rental logistics (furniture, decor, staging, site design), this role offers room to specialize, take ownership, and step into long-term leadership as both divisions expand.

Centric Events is Arizona’s highest-rated event production company, specializing in corporate events, conferences, and live productions where reliability, professionalism, and execution matter.

Our mission is to build and equip a team of next-level professionals who flawlessly plan, prep, and execute events that win a client’s business again and again.

We are a hands-on production company with high standards, clear expectations, and a long-term mindset.

• Safely operating cargo vans and box trucks up to 26’ to and from venues across Arizona.
• Ensuring all cargo—from sensitive AV road cases to stacked event rentals—is loaded, weight-balanced, and securely strapped using e-track/tie-downs.
• Managing load-ins and load-outs efficiently while maintaining a clean driving record and representing Centric professionally on the road.

• Leading the setup and strike of staging, lighting, basic audio/video, turf, furniture, and event rental packages.
• Reviewing project plans and pull sheets to ensure event setups match client design specs.
• Assisting with daytime warehouse prep, pull sheets, and equipment maintenance between event days.

• Directing setup crew and local labor during load-ins, site builds, and late-night strikes.
• Maintaining proactive communication with Event Leads, Project Managers, and venue point-of-contacts.
• Representing Centric Events with high standards of professionalism and customer service in public and venue environments.

This is a hands-on role. Everyone at Centric contributes to physical setup and teardown regardless of experience level.

• Zero Damage: Vehicles are driven safely and cargo is packed/secured properly without damage to inventory or trucks.
• On-Time Execution: Load-ins, builds, and strikes run smoothly according to project timelines.
• Crew Direction: Crew members are well-organized, supported, and clearly briefed on tasks.
• Client Trust: Venues and clients experience a seamless, professional, and stress-free event build.

This role supports both warehouse operations and field execution, including:

• Daytime warehouse prep and loading shifts
• Weekday event deliveries and setups
• Evening and weekend event executions when scheduled
• Occasional late-night strikes / returns

Schedules vary depending on event calendar intensity. Because live events depend on teamwork, reliability and punctuality are non-negotiable.

Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (must meet commercial auto insurance requirements).

• Comfortable driving cargo vans and 16'–26' box trucks in urban, highway, and tight loading-dock environments.
• Strong work ethic, physical stamina, and the ability to lift 50+ lbs repeatedly.
• Strong team-building and communication skills under fast-paced event conditions.

• Experience with commercial box truck driving, freight loading, or load-securing techniques.
• Experience in live event production,…
