Event Associate

Please note this is for a long-term job, not a temporary summer position.

We're looking for a creative, reliable, and upbeat team member to join the Wowlloons crew! If you love hands-on work, making magic happen, and turning ordinary spaces into balloon-filled wonderlands, this one’s for you.

As a Balloon Artist & Installation Assistant (training provided), you’ll help build, prep, and install epic balloon designs, from studio assembly to on-site set-ups. You'll work with our design team to bring visions to life and make clients smile (and snap pics!).

Bonus: With experience, you can grow into a Lead Installer role!

If you're dependable, love a good challenge, we’d love to meet you. Let’s pump things up together at Wowlloons!

Key Responsibilities:

• Balloon Fabrication & Assembly (We’ll Teach You!)

Inflate and build balloon garlands, columns, walls, and other Wowlloons designs using latex, foil, and specialty balloons.
Ensure every piece meets our high quality and safety standards.

• Studio Organization & Maintenance

Keep our Pembroke studio clean and organized. Help manage balloon inventory, supplies, and equipment.

• Quality Control

Inspect balloons for damage before use, ensure they’re properly inflated, tied, and secured for long-lasting installs.

• Installation Prep & Support

Prep balloon installs for delivery and help with loading/unloading. Support on-site installations, including some physical labor (lifting, carrying, etc.).

• Delivery & On-Site Setup

Safely transport balloon arrangements and install them at client locations with precision and care. Make sure everything is secure, aligned to specs, and photo-ready!

• Client Interaction & Service

Greet clients with a smile, answer questions, and help ensure the final result matches their vision. Occasionally assist in helping clients choose balloon options for events.

• Problem Solving & Troubleshooting

Handle any balloon mishaps or last-minute adjustments with professionalism and a can-do attitude.

• Safety & Equipment Care

Follow safety guidelines during transportation and installation. Help maintain delivery vehicles and tools.

• Post-Event Breakdown (When Applicable)

Assist with takedowns, safely disassembling displays and returning materials to the studio.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience (Preferred, Not Required):

Experience in delivery, event setup, or customer service is a plus but we’re happy to train the right go-getter with a positive attitude!

• Physical Requirements:

Must be able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, work in varied indoor/outdoor event environments, and be comfortable using a ladder.

• Attention to Detail:

A keen eye for detail is key to creating polished, photo-worthy installs. You’ll need to inspect and maintain balloon quality from start to finish.

• Driving & Organization:

A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required. Must be punctual, reliable, and able to follow routes and schedules with ease.

• Team Player Energy:

Must work well with others, follow instructions, and bring good vibes to every install. We value collaboration and a strong work ethic.

• Professionalism:

You’ll represent Wowlloons on-site, so a friendly, respectful, and polished demeanor is essential when interacting with clients and vendors.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with balloon installation (e.g., garlands, columns, walls) is a plus, especially within the event or decor industry but not required. We’re happy to train the right candidate!

Personal Attributes:

• Reliable: Punctual, dependable, and able to meet tight deadlines while navigating various event venues.
• Positive Attitude: Friendly, upbeat, and client-focused, helping create a great experience from start to finish.
• Problem-Solver: Quick thinker who can troubleshoot and adapt when unexpected challenges arise on-site.
• Flexible: Comfortable with last-minute changes and shifting plans to ensure client satisfaction.

If you're passionate about creating joy and celebrations through balloons and have a knack for delivering exceptional service, we'd love to meet you!
