About the Role

Brisbane Racing Club is seeking a proactive and hands-on Logistics & Set-Up Team Leader to lead the delivery of seamless event set-ups across our iconic Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses.

As our Logistics & Set-Up Team Leader, you'll:

• Lead, coach and supervise the Set-Up team to deliver exceptional event and hospitality venue presentations.
• Coordinate the set-up and pack-down of hospitality spaces for race days, functions and major events.

• Oversee the movement, storage and allocation of hospitality equipment, furniture and event assets.
• Coordinate supplier deliveries and contractor bump-in/bump-out activities while ensuring compliance with Workplace Health and Safety requirements.
• Conduct post-event reconciliations, identifying maintenance requirements, damaged assets or stock shortages.
• Maintain safe, clean and efficient work areas while ensuring all team members follow operational procedures.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance operational efficiency and the guest experience.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an organised leader who enjoys being hands-on and leading by example. You'll bring:

• Previous experience in hospitality, venue or event operations.
• Demonstrated experience supervising or leading operational teams.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to interpret event layouts and venue plans.
• A practical, solutions-focused mindset with strong communication skills.
• Commitment to Workplace Health & Safety and safe manual handling practices.
• A current driver's licence (essential).
• A forklift licence is advantageous but not essential.
• Availability to work weekends, early mornings, evenings and public holidays, particularly during major racing carnivals.

What You'll Get

At Brisbane Racing Club, you'll be joining a passionate team that delivers some of Queensland's most exciting racing and entertainment experiences.

We offer:

• The opportunity to work behind the scenes at one of Australia's premier racing and events destinations.
• A supportive and collaborative team culture where your contribution is valued.
• Leadership opportunities with genuine ownership of your team and operations.
