Awesome 3 International

Job descriptionWhen it comes to planning and executing a live event, event operations coordinators do it all: they scout locations and bring in missing equipment; contract with vendors for food, bathrooms, and other necessities; hire all event staff, including security; create and post necessary signage; work through logistics concerning the site and weather; and oversee cleanup afterward. If licenses are needed, or if contracts contain curfew stipulations, event operations coordinators seek and maintain those orders&mdash;and when problems of any kind occur, it's their job to be on-site, managing the situation. Although their main responsibility is the logistics of events, in rare cases operations coordinators will take on some of the duties of concert/event producers, including booking talent and transportation and overseeing the rental and maintenance of audio and video equipment.Professional Skills<ul><li>Event planning and management</li><li>Logistics/operations</li><li>Budgeting</li><li>Negotiating</li><li>Contracts</li><li>Personnel management</li><li>Security</li><li>Communication</li><li>Problem-solving</li></ul>Interpersonal Skills -To say that this position requires attention to detail would be a gross understatement. For event operations coordinators, details are the job. Good event operations employees have an uncanny ability to look into the future of a situation, see what could go wrong, and plan for it. They are cautious, intelligent, and hyperaware of potential problems, which is all to say that they have backup plans to their backup plans. They are also excellent multitaskers who are deeply concerned with efficiency and resource management.Work Life -For events operations coordinators, life can be unpredictable. Their schedules vary widely depending on whether a large-scale event is coming up or already underway. Event coordinators are always on hand at the events they plan, troubleshooting issues as they arise. They are the first to arrive and the last to leave, setting up and staying late to ensure cleanup is completed, vendors are paid, and audience members are happy. Between events, they usually have more breathing room, and may only have minor administrative tasks to take care of until it's time to start on the next event. The job can require some travel, particularly for the best in the business, who are always in high demand.Job Type: Full-timePay: AED3,000.00 - AED4,000.00 per monthExperience:<ul><li>Event Operations: 1 year (Preferred)</li></ul>
