Event Build Crew

We are Showsec, the award-winning venue and event security specialist dedicated to achieving excellence in crowd management.

This is a hands-on, physically demanding role that plays a vital part in delivering successful events.

You’ll be working as part of a close-knit team to transform Utilita Arena Sheffield between different event layouts, including converting ice rink areas into seating configurations. Working to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment, you’ll need a strong work ethic and reliability. You should be proactive, comfortable working at pace, and able to remain focused and productive when working under time pressure.

Teamwork is key, and you’ll need to be willing to support colleagues to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Whether you’re looking for regular work or just a handful of shifts, our casual contract offers excellent flexibility. However, you must be able to work overnight and weekends (not necessarily every week, as some day shifts are also available). Due to the nature of the work, you will need to be flexible and available to work long and sometimes unsociable hours with a positive, can-do attitude.

You will be required to undertake a video interview so please only apply if you are willing to participate in a video interview. IND
