Dock & Space Upkeep: Help keep the loading dock clear, organized, and safe for incoming and outgoing shipments.

Qualifications & Requirements

Availability: Ability to work a standard M-F, 9am-5pm schedule, with the strict flexibility to handle mandatory evening, late-night, and weekend driving assignments as required by event schedules.

Physical Demands: Ability to lift, push, and pull up to 75 lbs frequently. Comfortable navigating tight loading docks, ramps, and service elevators.
