Lead and guide our Set Ups team
- Permanent position, $27.29-$47.76 per hour
- Based at a great location (South Wharf/CBD)

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is the home of unconventional. At MCEC we do things a little differently. We bring fresh ideas and imagination to every event. We happily turn concepts on their head to make each experience momentous.

We welcome events of all shapes and sizes, from board meetings and small celebrations to conventions, gala dinners, exhibitions, and concerts. Our doors are open for events and moments that connect us - in person, virtual or hybrid, and everything in between.

Our city is our inspiration, located in the vibrant South Wharf precinct, just a stroll along the Yarra River. Melbourne is on show at MCEC - in the architecture and design, food and hospitality, location, and views.

**About the role**

We are currently seeking experienced Set Ups Team Leaders who have flexible availability for morning and evening work**.** As one of our Team Leaders, you'll be planning, coordinating, and supervising your team to deliver room setups for all events.

- Maintaining furniture storage and storerooms
- Ensuring crew are adhering to all safety requirements and OH&S procedures

**About You**

- Physically fit - you'll be walking quite a bit during your shift and lifting/moving equipment and furniture
- Have flexible availability across 7 days
- Flexible workings hours including weekends and nights
- Eligibility to work in Australia with no restrictions (if on Visa, we will require evidence of your work eligibility)

**Working at MCEC**

You'll be working in a Melbourne icon, with a welcoming and supportive team. And there are many other benefits - 14 weeks paid parental leave; flexible work options; purchased leave; employee discounts; onsite restaurants, cafes, and parking; and South Wharf and the city at our doorstep. We are diverse, inclusive, and collaborative.

Built on the banks of the Birrarung (Yarra River), Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Narrm, the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and to Elders of all First Nations communities that visit MCEC.

We recognise the significance of the Birrarung to Traditional Owners as a life source and a meeting place and seek to honour a 40,000 year tradition of building community and exchanging ideas on these lands.
