Events Staff; Part-Time

Position:
Special Events Staff

Love being part of the action? Enjoy working outdoors, staying active, and helping bring community events to life? This could be your backstage pass.

The City of Suwanee is looking for a dependable, hands‑on Special Events Staffer to help make our events and public spaces shine. From concerts and festivals to community gatherings, you’ll play a key role in creating experiences that residents and visitors won’t forget. This position works exclusively Suwanee event shifts and can expect to be scheduled for approximately 10–20 events per year, though this is an estimate and subject to change.

Events usually happen from February to early December and then you get to rest before jumping into a new year events.

No two days look exactly the same—and that’s part of the fun. In this role, you’ll:

• Help set up and break down city events, including tents, staging, barricades, sound equipment, tables, chairs, and more
• Keep parks and facilities clean, safe, and guest‑ready
• Perform light maintenance (think changing bulbs, minor repairs, unclogging drains)
• Install banners, signage, and event décor
• Operate equipment like golf carts, ATVs, and light‑duty trucks
• Support event location setups and city facility needs
• Keep an eye on park activity and report any concerns
• Pitch in wherever needed to ensure events run smoothly

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys staying active, working outdoors, and being part of a team.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Don’t mind getting your hands dirty and working in all kinds of weather
• Can lift, carry, and move equipment (sometimes heavy!)
• Are comfortable using tools, equipment, and light vehicles
• Communicate well with teammates and the public
• Take pride in keeping spaces clean, safe, and welcoming

• Some high school education required
• Experience supporting events, facilities, or similar work is a plus
• Valid (or ability to obtain) Georgia driver’s license

• Primarily outdoors, including hot summers and occasional cold or inclement weather
• Physically active role involving lifting, walking, climbing, and equipment operation
• Exposure to typical outdoor and maintenance conditions (dust, noise, machinery)

• This position is non‑exempt (hourly)
• Subject to the City’s drug and alcohol screening policies
