ABOUT THE ROLE

Legends Global teams across the world are innate problem solvers and people who thrive on the excitement of developing events that create opportunity and connection.  We are meticulous planners, innovative thinkers, relationship specialists and acutely experienced business leaders who love what they do.

At Legends Global, we love events, it's what we do. It's a part of our DNA and what drives us.

If you enjoy being on your feet, take pride in doing a job properly, and notice the details others miss — this could be the role for you.

At Te Pae Christchurch, we deliver world-class event experiences in the heart of the city. Every room set, every chair placement, every transition matters. Behind that delivery is a team who care about getting it right — and a Supervisor who leads from the front.

We’re looking for a Casual Event Set Up Supervisor to join our Event Set Up team and help bring our clients’ visions to life.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll be right in the action — setting rooms, moving equipment, adjusting layouts — while guiding your team to deliver consistently high standards.

You will:

• Lead event set-ups and pack-downs to world-class standards
• Work alongside your team — including manual handling, operable walls, and equipment movement
• Support planning alongside the Event Operations Coordinator and help bring floor plans to life
• Supervise and motivate a cohesive team who take real pride in their work
• Ensure equipment is well-maintained and ready for use
• Maintain safe working practices and lead by example on health and safety
• Communicate clearly with clients, contractors, and internal teams

ABOUT YOU

Every day, our people are responsible for delivering extraordinary experiences for every guest who walks through our doors.

You will have shared values and a people-centric mindset and genuinely want to make a difference. That's what makes you stand out from the crowd and why we want to meet with you.

You’re someone who:

• Enjoys physical, practical work and being part of live event delivery
• Has an eye for detail and takes pride in producing high-quality outcomes
• Leads by example and builds strong, positive team environments
• Stays calm, organised, and focused under pressure
• Is reliable, hard-working, and committed to doing things properly

You’ll also bring:

• Experience in event environments (conferences, exhibitions, banqueting, or live entertainment)
• Previous supervisory or team leadership experience
• The ability to follow plans while confidently making decisions on the ground
• Flexibility to work evenings, overnights, and weekends
• A good level of physical fitness

Why join us?

At Te Pae, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud of the culture we’ve built — one grounded in manaakitanga, teamwork, and delivering for our clients.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead a passionate, tight-knit team who genuinely cares about the work they do
• Play a key part in delivering events that showcase Christchurch on the world stage
• Work in a supportive environment with full training and induction provided
• Have opportunities to grow your skills within a world-class venue
