Berkeley-based DJ and decorative lighting service has openings for audio/lighting technicians to load and setup/strike equipment. We provide DJ, audio, uplighting, string lighting, and station lighting service for weddings in the Greater Bay Area.
SET-UPS WE OFTEN DO
DJ station, DJ speakers, wireless microphones, uplighting, string lighting, station lighting, and photo booth service
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
- Basic DJ, audio, and/or event lighting experience is a plus. But advanced audio and lighting knowledge is not required. You will be trained in all setups. None are very technical.
- Follow through on your commitments
- Punctual
- Responsive to availability checks within a day
- Relatively fit and can safely lift 50 pounds
- Comfortable with taking direction
- Relatively chill. It helps in the often fast paced event environment we work in.
- A valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle
- You own or are willing to get technician attire: black polo or button down dress shirt, black chinos or slacks, black non-slip shoes (not sneakers), black belt and socks
- Weekend availability. Saturdays are common. We're onsite some Fridays and Sundays. And we do the occasional weekday event. Every tech opening is optional on your part. But the more availability the better.
DAY-OF SCHEDULE
A day usually involves 30 to 45 minutes of load-in at our Berkeley office, drive to the venue, 1.5 to 2.5 hours of set-up onsite, around 1 hour of strike after the event, drive back to the office, and 30 minutes of load-out. Techs are paid to be onsite for the day. But many days there will be up to 4 to 6 hours of downtime when a tech is free to go offsite then return for strike. A meal is included for some events.
SERVICE AREA
Greater Bay Area. Most venues we service are within 15 minutes to 1 hour of Berkeley.
COMPENSATION
Most events are $250 or $275. Some events are $300 or $325.
Pay for each event depends on how long the day is, if you're needed onsite for the day or only for set-up and strike, how far away the event venue is, and how much supervision and guidance you require to get the set-ups done well.
You will be one of a handful of assistants that are on our short list.
This opening is a great way to take the edge off monthly bills and earn supplemental income with a minimal scheduling commitment. College students are welcome.
