Driver / Warehouse Technician (Event Production)
Royal ProductionsDriver / Warehouse Technician (Event Production) Royal Productions | Metairie, LA About Royal Productions Royal Productions is a national AV and live event production company with nearly 40 years in the business. We run in-house AV programs at hotel properties across the country and operate a full road show and external production division. From conferences and galas to corporate meetings and national media events, every show we do starts in the same place: our warehouse. And every show depends on getting the gear there. The Role We’re looking for a dependable, organized Warehouse Assistant & Driver to join our team in Metairie. This is a two-part job. In the warehouse, you’ll work side by side with our Warehouse Manager to keep our inventory accurate, our gear show-ready, and our orders going out complete and on time. On the road, you’ll drive our vans and box trucks to get that equipment where it needs to go, whether that’s a hotel downtown or an event several states away. One day you’re pulling and prepping gear for a show. The next you’re running a delivery to one of our New Orleans hotel properties. The next you’re driving a truck to an out-of-town event, unloading with the crew, and bringing everything home after the strike. If you like staying busy, take pride in an organized space, are comfortable behind the wheel of a large vehicle, and want a way into the live event industry, this is a great place to start. Audio visual experience is a plus but not required. If you’re the right person, we’ll teach you the gear.
