Job Description

Do you love the excitement of seeing a professional event come to life? ABL Employment is looking for motivated individuals to join our team for an upcoming Special Event in Moncton. We aren’t just looking for laborers; we are looking for “event ambassadors” who have the grit to handle the physical setup and the wit to provide excellent service to our guests. If you have experience in the event industry and a positive, “can-do” attitude, we want to hear from you.

In this role, you are part of the team that builds the atmosphere. Your shift might start with the heavy lifting of unloading props and décor, but as the doors open, your focus shifts to the guest experience.

This is a fast-paced environment where your ability to follow instructions with precision is key to the event’s success.

We offer a competitive wage of $19.50 per hour and a streamlined application process assisted by our virtual recruiter.
