Event Services Attendant

• Living wage employer
• Join us as we grow our teams in preparation for the opening of One New Zealand Stadium
• Plenty of flexible hours available (work around your other commitments)

About the Role

The opening of One New Zealand Stadium is just around the corner and we're continuing our exciting phase of growth and transformation. Venues Otautahi is thrilled to be accepting applications for individuals to join our casual staffing pool of Event Services Attendants to help bring the stadium to life

Behind every great event is exceptional food, seamless service, and a welcoming smile, and that's where YOU come in. We're looking for enthusiastic and reliable team members to help deliver unforgettable experiences for our guests.

Event Services Attendants can take on a variety of customer focused tasks during any given shift and this role suits those who are flexible and happy to move with the needs of the event. You could be rostered to work in any of our current venues, including One New Zealand Stadium when it is open in April 2026.

This would mean you could be rostered in the following areas:

• Food & Beverage Service – delivering great food and drink, working across bars, tables, corporate suites, and premium hospitality spaces to create standout event experiences.
• Hosting – welcoming guests, scanning tickets, assisting with seating, and being the friendly face that helps bring events to life.
• Cashiering – engaging with guests, processing transactions smoothly, and keeping service moving during high-energy event moments.
• Event / Venue Setup – preparing spaces behind the scenes by stocking fridges, polishing glassware and cutlery, and getting venues event-ready for premium functions.
• Barista – crafting great coffee and keeping guests energised throughout the event experience.

You'll be right in the thick of it at times, from concerts, to conferences, gala dinners, and large sporting events - and everything in between.
