We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic and committed people to join us as casual Event and Security Team Members.

What we need from you

Your excellent interpersonal and communication skills are key to your success in this role – you’ll love interacting with a diverse range of individuals in a positive and professional manner. You’ll be adaptable, approachable, and able to think on your feet to find solutions. Ideally, you’ve had experience in a customer facing role (like hospitality or retail), in event security or a related field but this not a requirement as training will be provided.

This is a physical position which may see you standing and walking for extended periods, so you will need to have a good level of fitness to accommodate.

These positions offer a pathway into more senior security positions and allow you to work towards gaining a Certificate of Approval COA (a requirement for security work in NZ). Due to the requirement of the COA license this does mean that applicants are required to be over years of age to be considered.
