Job Description

We're Hiring: Workshop Carpenter

Make the extraordinary, everlasting -- with us.

At Event Concept, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression -- not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life.

We're collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality -- all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you're someone who's curious, adaptable and excited to do meaningful work with a team that's got your back, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Workshop Carpenter to join our Scenic department. Reporting into the Workshop Manager, you'll be part of our fast-paced construction team bringing creative designs to life through high-quality scenic builds. From custom stages, pop-ups, and props to exhibition stands and bespoke furniture, your work will help turn ambitious ideas into physical realities -- built on time and to the highest standard.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

Have previous experience in scenic or event carpentry. Always aim for perfection, even in temporary builds -- quality is never compromised. Can remain calm and focused under pressure -- especially when timelines are tight. Are confident reading and interpreting technical drawings. Take pride in your carpentry and finishing skills. Are willing to work as part of a team delivering the event, whatever the discipline may be. Are familiar with a range of scenic/exhibition construction methods and enjoy problem-solving. Are proactive and self-motivated, thriving in a fast-moving environment. Communicate clearly and professionally -- both on the workshop floor and via email. Are curious about technology and how it integrates into scenic work. Have basic IT literacy -- experience with AutoCAD, Vectorworks, or SketchUp is a bonus, not a must. Care about sustainability and are aligned with our 2030 Pledge to reduce waste and single-use plastics.




You don't have to tick every box -- we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.

What You'll Be Doing

Constructing a wide range of scenic elements -- from stages and stands to props and furniture. Liaising with our technical designer/drafts team to turn designs into builds. Collaborating with other carpenters and freelancers to complete daily tasks. Assisting onsite construction teams for larger projects when required. Working closely with Scenic PMs, Workshop Manager and Project Managers to plan upcoming work. Collaborating with the workshop team on best practices, construction techniques, and finishes. Quality-checking projects before dispatch to ensure highest levels of finish. Supporting the Workshop Manager with Safe Systems of Work (SSoW) and workflow planning. Contributing to our sustainability goals, especially around waste and material use. Maintaining confidentiality and professionalism at all times. Actively identifying areas for improvement in team skills, training, or business process. Providing feedback to the Workshop Manager and being part of continuous improvement efforts. Following our Health & Safety Policy and all other company protocols. Staying up to date with new materials, methods, and technologies in scenic construction. Representing EC's values in everything you do.
