Full job description
Who are the Wilder?
The Wilder is a creative studio which creates art and experiences for people to learn about nature, to connect with each other, and to inspire creativity. We produce events, winter festivals, and create art installations and event activations, and we love storytelling through our creations. Check out our creations at www.thewilder.ca and @thewilder.experience
The Role
We are looking for someone to work with us to support our winter events. We anticipate the contract to start from September or October until the end of February. We are ideally looking for someone in Squamish (as this is where our Director works from), or the Sea to Sky who has their own vehicle and is willing to commute to Squamish at least one day a week and whenever there is logistical work required in Squamish (there is no mileage reimbursement for travel to Squamish as it is the normal place of work for this company).
We are looking for someone who has event, technical, production or operations coordination experience to work both behind the scenes on event administration and also on-the-ground helping to plan the logistics of our events, packing vans, prepping and installing art installations, and be on site with our events.
The hours are flexible and a mix of remote and on-site event work. They range from few hours if we have nothing happening in a week to 20 or 30 hours a week around our key events busy times in November and February.
The Event Production Assistant will be a core member of our team working with our director on several creative events. They will be hands-on with every element of the event, planning each site, coordinating installations with artists, helping other production team members and volunteers, installing lighting, setting up activations etc, as well as administrative work from home in the leadup to events.
We expect the candidate to work on some or all of the following tasks:
· Pre-event work from planning equipment lists, load in schedules, booking rental equipment, artist contracts, prep and planning etc
· Event production - setting up activations, event zones, liaising with artists and supporting their needs
· Event coordination, logistics, volunteer and staff coordination
· Site setup safety management, technical support, troubleshooting, being everywhere at once
