Event Set-up Crew jobs in Gold Coast: MyGig isn't live here yet.
The Gold Coast’s event slate spans theme-park seasons, the 600, marathon weekend and a dense conference trade at Broadbeach. Each event staffs a large casual layer of gates, hospitality and bump-in crews, drawn from a workforce used to tourism’s rhythms.
Set-up crew is event work for people who like the build: physical shifts before and after the show, often at penalty-rate hours. No formal tickets are typically required to start; vetting covers identity, references and role skills.
We don't offer shifts in Gold Coast yet, and this page won't pretend otherwise. Queensland is planned for 2027. Today MyGig operates as the authorised Employer of Record in NSW, WA, TAS and NT.
