Work with Us

We are looking for dedicated individuals who wish to learn how to rig stretch tents to the highest level.

We’re a new company, launched in 2020, and we are looking to build our pool of people to grow with us as the business expands.

We are especially looking for an experienced individual who will become our Chief Rigger, and lead the tent team. For the right person, we will offer training, great rates of pay and profit share opportunities if you join us early on the journey. 

• Initially you’ll need to be registered as self-employed or be willing to do so. As the role develops there may be opportunity to join the team on a full time basis
• Have a full clean driving licence.
• Aged over 21 years old.
• Fit, strong and able to work outdoors for long periods of time.
• Live within a commutable distance of High Peak, SK22 2ES and be available for 6am starts.

Preferable (but not essential) experience:

• Previous stretch tent or marquee experience.
• Previous experience working on festivals sites or large events.
• Knowledge of physics/wind speeds/structural engineering.

Our stretch tents will go to festivals, sporting events, international events, private parties and at venues and houses all over The North. You’ll work as part of a small team and work will become more frequent as we grow. You must be able to work flexibly during our growth phase. Work over the next two years will be mostly at weekends (Fri - Sun) so could suit people who work or study or care for people flexibly during the week.

Excellent rates of pay £10-£15 per hour – dependent on experience.

This is an exciting time to join us as we grow and develop the business and these roles are critical to our success. We are happy to train and commit to the right individuals if you are happy to learn and build with us.

We are an organisation dedicated to achieving wider representation in the tent/event industry and we encourage applications from women, LGBT+ and Black, Asian and ethnically diverse candidates.
