On-Site Event Coordinator

Contract – Q1 Event Season For more than three decades, Techo-Bloc has been redefining outdoor living. What began as one family's question, "why should creativity be limited to a handful of paver styles?", has grown into a family-owned North American leader in hardscape design and manufacturing, with 36+ patents to its name. Today, our 850+ employees, 9 production plants, 800+ dealers and 14,000 certified Techo-Pros shape homes and public spaces across the continent. We are proud to be recognized as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies. If you're ambitious, love a challenge and don't quite fit the mold, you'll fit right in. Our planning team builds every event months in advance. You're the one who makes it happen. As our On-Site Event Coordinator, you lead Techo-Bloc's roadshows, loyalty events and trade shows on the ground across Canada and the U.S. From load-in to load-out, you own the setup, the flow, the team and the guest experience. You're not watching from the sidelines: you lead by doing, side by side with your team. When something goes sideways, you fix it before anyone notices. What you'll own - Event readiness: Review each BEO in advance, cross-check every line item with what was confirmed and flag discrepancies before arriving on-site - Setup and teardown: Lead and take part in installing furniture, signage, AV and branded elements, then make sure everything is packed and accounted for at the end - Your on-site team: Brief the team, assign roles and stay hands-on all day, stepping in wherever needed - The guest experience: Run registration, welcome guests, handle walk-ins and set a warm, professional tone from the first hello - Food and beverage: Coordinate with catering to keep timing and service on point - Venue and partner relations: Be the go-to contact for venue staff, suppliers, Techo-Bloc reps and partners, and make sure everyone has what they need - Real-time problem solving: Keep the program on schedule and resolve issues before they reach guests - Post-event follow-up: Debrief the planning team and check final invoices against the BEO, flagging any gaps or overages A day in the life No two event days are exactly alike. Yours might look like: - Arriving before sunrise to lead setup and make sure every detail is ready before doors open. - Walking the venue with the team, catching a last-minute issue and finding a solution before guests arrive. - Welcoming guests at registration and setting the tone for the experience. - Coordinating with the venue, catering team and suppliers while keeping your team moving according to plan. - Making a quick call when something changes mid-event and keeping the program on schedule. - Leading teardown after the last guest leaves and making sure every item is accounted for before heading out. - Sending a concise post-event recap to the planning team while the details are still fresh. What you bring - 2+ years of experience in event coordination, hospitality, event operations or a related field. - Proven experience leading a team during live events or in a fast-paced operational environment. - Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple moving parts under pressure. - Excellent judgment and the confidence to make decisions independently when things don't go according to plan. - A natural ability to make people feel welcome while maintaining a professional presence. - Strong attention to detail and high standards for execution. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills in French and English. - A valid driver's license and passport, with the ability and willingness to travel extensively across Canada and the U.S. - Ability to lift up to 40 lbs and work extended hours during event setup, execution and teardown. You'll thrive here if you - Lead from the front and are never above rolling up your sleeves. - Stay calm, resourceful and solution-focused when things don't go according to plan. - Can make a decision with limited information and confidently move forward. - Notice the details others miss and care about getting things right. - Enjoy working with people and know how to keep a team focused during a long event day. - Get energized by travel, variety and fast-paced environments. - Would rather solve a problem than explain why it happened. - Take ownership of the outcome, not just your assigned tasks.
