Job description

Join the Hipswing Crew!

Do you love the buzz of live events? Thrive under pressure? Handy with a flight case, a wrench, and a smile? Then Hipswing want YOU on the team!

We’re on the hunt for an enthusiastic Event Staff Member who’s ready to jump into the world of sound, light, staging, and unforgettable moments.

From private parties and weddings to high-profile corporate events across the Northwest, no two days are ever the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.

Who We Are

We’re Hipswing — an Audio/Visual, lighting, staging, and dancefloor company based in Winsford, Cheshire. We’ve built a reputation for delivering slick, professional events with a big smile, and we’re growing fast.

Our team is the heartbeat of what we do. If you’ve got the energy, passion, and people skills to keep the show on the road (literally), we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and setting up Audio, Lighting, Video, Dancefloors, and Staging
• Climbing (safely!) to install rigging and truss up to 10m high
• Loading, prepping, and checking kit for events
• Working with clients and colleagues at weddings, conferences, parties & more
• Operating gear during live events (where the magic happens )
• Installing and running IT equipment
• Packing down and derigging after the show
• Driving long wheelbase vans full of shiny kit (no scratches, please!)
• Basically — being an event superhero

What We’re Looking For

• AV or event industry experience (you know your XLR from your HDMI)
• Full driving licence + happy behind the wheel of a 3.5t van
• Confidence, initiative, and the ability to just make things happen
• A cool head under pressure and top‑notch people skills
• Presentable appearance (sometimes our clients are very fancy)
• Team player with a positive, can‑do attitude
• Physically fit enough to move and set up equipment safely

Perks of the Job

• Salary £26,000–£28,000 (depending on experience)
• 37.5 hours a week + overtime pay & bonus schemes
• 28 days holiday (+ a day off for your birthday )
• The chance to work on incredible events in amazing venues
• A fun, supportive team who actually like what they do

(Heads up: this isn’t your standard 9–5 — evenings, weekends, and the occasional late-night packdown are part of the deal. But we work hard to keep things balanced.)

If you’ve got the skills, the drive, and the energy to help us bring events to life, then we want to hear from you!

Apply now and let’s make some magic together.
