This particular opportunity is for the role of Event Set-Up Supervisor at the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC), an award-winning, state-of-the-art venue located in Miami Beach, Florida. The MBCC underwent a remarkable $640 million renovation and has been thoughtfully reimagined to support a wide variety of gatherings including conventions, conferences, trade shows, and meetings. As a LEED Silver certified environmentally friendly building, the MBCC boasts 500,000 square feet of flexible exhibition halls, a grand ballroom, multiple junior ballrooms, breakout rooms, outdoor terraces, and parks, making it an ideal location for sophisticated event management. The Event Set-Up Supervisor is a hands-on leadership position tasked with overseeing the preparation, installation, and breakdown of all necessary furniture and equipment across various event spaces such as meeting rooms, ballrooms, exhibit halls, pre-function areas, and exterior venues at the MBCC. Reporting to the Housekeeping Manager and Event Managers, you will ensure room setups align with client specifications, meet safety standards, and maintain the highest levels of visual presentation consistent with both convention center and hotel-style operations. The role pays an hourly wage of $21.15 and is classified as an other employment type. This position offers benefits including health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) savings plan with company matching, and paid time off covering vacation, sick days, and 11 holidays. The position will remain open until October 31, 2025. This supervisory role requires managing a diverse team of full-time, part-time, and temporary employees by training, mentoring, and directing their work during setup and breakdown operations. A critical aspect of the role involves interpreting event specifications such as Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), event layouts, and diagrams to ensure every space is prepared flawlessly. The supervisor will conduct pre-event inspections and lead pre-shift briefings to communicate safety protocols, event timelines, and objectives to the team. You will also be responsible for adjusting room configurations based on last-minute client requests, managing simultaneous event turnovers especially during high-volume periods, and maintaining safe and organized equipment storage areas. Keeping accurate inventory records for tables, chairs, linens, risers, staging, and signage is essential to support operational efficiency and financial accuracy. Additionally, you will use internal systems to document shift completions, inventory usage, and equipment issues. Leading by example, the Event Set-Up Supervisor will participate in physical setup tasks as needed, as well as implement strategies during downtime such as deep cleaning, equipment repairs, and refresher training. Collaborating with Housekeeping, Event Managers, and Scheduling teams to develop efficient labor plans based on a 30-day event forecast is a key component for success in this role. This position also involves providing feedback and recommendations to leadership regarding operational improvements, staffing, and capital equipment needs. The Miami Beach Convention Center offers an exciting and dynamic environment that blends premier event spaces with the vibrant cultural backdrop of nearby South Beach, Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, and other Miami Beach attractions. Joining the Oak View Group team means being part of a company that values diversity, inclusivity, and innovation, driving excellence in every aspect of live event experiences.
