Livewire, a company committed to producing world-class events of all shapes and sizes with a deep-seated respect and commitment to the growth of the communities we serve, is hiring for a part-time Warehouse Operations Specialist.

Livewire, established in 1999, is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota and serves clients throughout the Upper Midwest and around the country.

Livewire believes that enjoying what you do is the key to doing it well. So, as an equal-opportunity employer, we are looking for employees who will take pleasure in the hard work of producing world-class events of all shapes and sizes, and take pride in the results.

If you are committed to the satisfaction of our clients and their guests, we will be committed to helping you grow and learn within our organization.

As a member of the Livewire team, you'll be at the forefront of producing creative and engaging world-class events throughout the Upper Midwest that are “what people talk about” when they get home.

Brief Description: The Warehouse Specialist position is responsible for overseeing that all events and projects produced by Livewire, large and small, are well-planned and well-executed by means of ensuring that the company's facilities, equipment, and vehicles are appropriately organized, cleaned, and inventoried following and prior to each event/project. As the Warehouse Specialist, your job is largely based at our offices in Fargo, ND, and is primarily focused on ensuring the company's assets are always ready to go back out at a moment's notice. A core component of the position is to ensure clear and consistent communication flows between all parties. Warehouse Specialists work closely with upper management and the entire Livewire team to make sure that the right equipment arrives safely to and from each Livewire project. Additionally, a Warehouse Specialist may also assists in the facilitation of training of other or new Livewire staff members or freelancers on specific warehouse responsibilities such as inventory, cleaning, and storage of equipment. A Warehouse Specialist may also be requested to support the logistics surrounding a given event, including setup, tear-down, or delivery of equipment.

This position sometimes requires travel outside of Fargo, ND. As this position is deeply involved in the production of live events, which are often dictated by the schedules of clients, venues, and elements outside of our control, this position may require late nights, early mornings and work on the weekends.

● Source and locate additional equipment for rental or purchase as needed/directed using our extensive list of vendor partners, and any contacts you might bring to the table.

● Collaborate with Livewire team members internally (e.g. at office) and externally (e.g. at event site) by assisting with their projects/needs if you are at a stand-still.

● Report any internal or external issues and escalate to management as needed.

● Manage client relationship and expectations before, during, and after events. Ensure any conflicts or problems in the eyes of the Client are resolved to all parties' satisfaction immediately.

● Use and continually develop leadership skills

● Other duties as assigned.

Requirements (please include appropriate examples in your application materials):

● Trustworthy, self-motivated, self-starting, individual.

● Ability to lift 50-75 lbs.
