LOOKING FOR EVENT WORK? WORK THROUGH OUR HOSPITALITY EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
At Nouvelle Équipe you will find everything for working at events, from front gate as ticket scanner to service staff at events, bar staff at a festival, or hostess at events. Through our event staffing agency, you can start in employment or as a self-employed event worker with freelance assignments in hospitality and events.
Whether you mainly want to work at festivals and larger events or prefer running conferences and trade shows: with clear briefings, tight schedules, and always paid on time, you are exactly where you make a difference.
FESTIVAL EMPLOYEE: WORKING AT EVENTS AND FESTIVALS
Do you like covering a lot of ground? As a festival employee, you work shifts at a high pace: bars, food courts, audience guidance, and backstage support. Working at events and festivals usually means long and busy shifts, a lot of teamwork, and tight timing. Perfect if you like to keep going when the music does.
WORKING AS A TICKET SCANNER
Working as a ticket scanner is ideal as an entry point: you check access passes, help with wristbands, and keep the line moving. We train you in system use and audience communication, so scanning tickets at a festival runs smoothly and welcomingly.
FESTIVAL BAR EMPLOYEE
Want bar work with pace? As a bar employee at a festival, you pour, serve, and take payments quickly and neatly. Your station remains tidy (refilling and cleaning) and you work together with runners and cashiers to keep things moving.
FREELANCE OR SALARY EMPLOYEE: YOU DECIDE
Freedom and your own rate? Choose to be self-employed and work as a freelance event employee, DBA-proof agreements, clear briefings, and proper payment. Prefer rhythm and a team feeling? Go salaried and take recurring shifts. You can always switch.
RATES & AGREEMENTS
We agree on the rate/wage in advance per role (host/hostess, bar, service, tickets, setup/takedown), times (evening/weekend/holiday), and responsibility. This way you know what to expect before you say 'yes'.
WORK FOR ONE OF THESE HOSPITALITY COMPANIES?
EVENT STAFFING AGENCY: THIS IS HOW WE WORK
We are your temporary employment agency for events with short lines of communication and many recurring clients. One profile, many options. If you choose employment, we build fixed schedules; if you go freelance, we match you with self-employed assignments in hospitality and events that fit your schedule and rate.
SERVICE EMPLOYEE EVENTS
In this role, you are the friendly anchor for visitors: welcoming them, answering questions, explaining routing, and solving problems. As an event service employee, you ensure that rooms have timely in- and outflow and that speakers, artists, and guests end up in the right place.
WORKING AS A HOSTESS AT EVENTS
More front-of-house? Working as a hostess at events means reception, badge distribution, cloakroom, and guiding guests in the hall. You are the face of the location: smile, overview, and clear information.
