Want to be part of the crew that powers festivals and major UK events — and learn a trade while you do it? This is a hands-on, permanent role with training provided. You’ll need a full UK driving licence, a strong work ethic, and the flexibility to work away during peak season. No electrical qualifications required.

You’ll support day-to-day warehouse/yards operations, preparing kit for deployment: testing equipment, cleaning, organising, loading/unloading, and keeping the yard running smoothly. During the event season, you’ll be out on site supporting installs, assisting senior electricians with cable runs, temporary lighting, and general set-up/pack-down duties.

  • Full UK driving licence (essential)
  • A strong work ethic — self-motivated, proactive, and not afraid of physical graft.
  • No barriers to working away (essential)
  • Any electrical experience or an interest would be beneficial, but not essential (training provided)
  • Plant machinery experience is desirable but not essential.
