What’s involved
Long-running DJ and event production company (in business 30+ years) is looking for a reliable assistant to help out at events across the city. The work: help load in and set up speaker/sub/lighting gear and cabling before the event, help out during it, then strike everything and load out afterward. Same gear every time, so once you learn the setup it becomes pretty routine. What matters most: showing up on time, every time — that's the top priority. You should be comfortable around basic sound gear (know what an XLR cable is, know how to coil one properly), able to carry equipment including up and down stairs, and hold a valid, clean driver's license since you'll need to drive and park their SUV around the city (you don't need your own vehicle). Pay is $150 per event, paid same-day. Work is booked weeks in advance, so you'd typically know your schedule ahead of time. This could be a good fit if you've done part-time sound tech, corporate A/V, church sound team, or stagehand work before. Reply with your sound/event experience and your weekend availability, plus a phone number and email so they can reach you.
