Exhibition Operations Executive

· Contract Role – Jan – April 2010

· Sydney Royal Easter Show

· Sydney Olympic Park

The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) is seeking an energetic and enthusiastic Operations Executive to be part of the Exhibitions team that delivers so much of what makes the Sydney Royal Easter Show ‘the’ event of the year – every year.

The primary focus of this role is to work with relevant departments to plan and deliver the operational components of the Sydney Royal Easter Show Exhibitions Department.

The person we seek has that something special that drives them towards the complex world of event operations. This role is not for the feint-hearted, but your eye for detail and event or exhibition background, make you the perfect candidate. With many balls in the air at any one time, your ability to remain calm under pressure, work to deadlines and ensure safety standards underpin your success in this role.

This role is focused on relationship building and a whole lot of customer service, which are key to the successful delivery of this role. In this position you will be the primary on-site contact for over 400 exhibitors for the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Like most roles, this one has an administrative element. Your Showtime responsibilities also include the coordination of the Lost Persons Centre and the overall management of operations within the pavilions and outdoor exhibition areas as well as the management of casual staff. You will also be responsible for ensuring service providers deliver on time. To say this role is hands-on is an understatement. It’s a fantastic opportunity for an event or exhibitions professional to assist with the management of the largest public gathering in the southern hemisphere. If that doesn’t excite you, you aren’t the candidate we’re looking for.

The nitty gritty, well EBMS and CAD experience are both very handy in this role. Some experience in the recruitment, training and management of a casual event team will be well regarded as will an understanding of the commercial realities of exhibitions.

If you are the type of person that thrives on the buzz of a busy event environment, this could be the contract role for you.

To be eligible to apply for this position you must have an appropriate Australian or New Zealand work visa.
