Onsite Install Tech
Deliver, install, and pick up portrait booths and custom photo ops. Set it up clean, test it, and make sure the tech works before you leave.
- Where
- Detroit office and Howell studio, venues across Michigan.
- When
- Deliveries and pickups around event schedules. Some evenings and weekends.
What you’ll do
- Load, deliver, and install booths and photo ops exactly to spec: distance, angle, cables, power, internet.
- Test the full experience on site and take a photo and video of the finished setup.
- Leave a support number, then pick it up and put it back where it lives, clean.
- Flag anything broken, low, or dirty so the next person never inherits your mess.
- Set up early and ready to go? If other event staff are still getting last-minute things done, ask if you can help. We always go out of our way to help when we have time.
Who you are
- Handy, tidy, and careful with expensive gear.
- Dressed to belong at the event when you install. Arriving before guests, all black is good. If guests will be there, come dressed. You can switch shoes once you’re done setting up. No hoodies at black tie.
- Valid license, reliable vehicle, able to lift 80 lbs.
Not for you if
- You’re fine with “close enough.”
- You don’t check your work before you leave.
What it pays
- $150 per event: set up, pick up, active gallery monitoring, on-call support, and staying near the event.
- Hourly for full installs and custom builds, in writing before you start.
