From community sport fixtures to major events and functions, McLean Park is Hawke's Bay's premier sporting and events destinations. We're looking for an enthusiastic and hands-on Event Operations Coordinator to help ensure every event, booking and venue experience runs smoothly. This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You'll be at the heart of venue operations, coordinating event requirements, supporting hirers and contractors, maintaining our facilities to a high standard, and helping maximise the use of the Centennial Events Centre. Whether you're setting up for an event, planning seasonal venue usage, or ensuring our facilities are safe, welcoming and event-ready, you'll play an important role in delivering exceptional experiences for our community. Working closely with customers, sporting organisations, contractors and colleagues, you'll combine practical problem-solving, strong organisation and a customer-first mindset to help make McLean Park a venue we're proud of. As events don't always happen during business hours, flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays when required is essential.
