We're looking for someone obsessed with organization.

Not just tidy — systematic. The kind of person who walks into a disorganized space and immediately starts working out how it should run. Who gets genuine satisfaction from a logical, functional system that other people can actually follow. Who labels things, documents things, and is bothered when a thing isn't where it belongs.

If that's you, keep reading, because we have a warehouse that needs you.

About us

Recent Horizon Productions is a Kelowna live event production company. We supply and run audio, lighting, video, staging, and power for concerts, festivals, conferences, galas, and social events across the Okanagan.

Our warehouse is where every one of those shows begins and ends. We're looking for someone who will own that space — not just work in it.

The job

You'll prep, pack, test, reset, and organize professional audio, lighting, video, and staging equipment — road cases, cable trunks, speakers, lighting fixtures, displays and projectors, racks, and staging hardware. Gear goes out complete and correctly built. When it comes back, it's checked, cleaned, and put away properly. Doing this well means an entire event runs smoothly and nobody has to think about why.

Day to day:

- Prep shows — work from pull sheets in Lasso (our inventory system), locate and barcode-scan equipment, build kits, and stage everything for shipment
- Process returns — check gear back in after events, test it, clean it, catch anything missing or damaged, get it back on the shelf
- Build and maintain the systems — labelling, shelving, kit organization, documentation. We have a mantra around here: everything has a home. We'd like it to be true more often than it currently is, and this is the role that makes that happen
- Flag things early — tag broken gear, log it, pull it from circulation, tell someone. The warehouse is where this gets caught
- Load and unload trucks, and operate the forklift and pallet stacker

This is primarily a warehouse role and most of your time will be spent in the building.



That said, if you're interested in event work, opportunities to get out on site do come up from time to time, and there may be more of them ahead. Most weeks are Monday-to-Friday days. Shows run when our clients need them, so evenings and the occasional weekend come up — and we finish what we start, even when it runs past five.

Who we're actually looking for

Four things matter more to us than any line on a resume.

1. You're obsessively organized. You build systems other people can follow, and you're bothered when they aren't followed. If you've ever reorganized something nobody asked you to reorganize, we want to hear about it.

2. You catch details other people miss. Model numbers. Barcodes. Two cables that look identical and aren't. The subtle differences matter enormously in this work — catching them here, in the warehouse, is what makes a 6am load-in go exactly to plan.

3. You're driven to finish. You want the task done, done properly, and then you want the next one. Momentum matters to you — you measure a good day by what actually got finished.

4. You anticipate and expedite. You see it coming before it lands, and you say something. A prep that should start a day earlier than it's scheduled, a truck plan worth a second look, a shelf count that doesn't add up — you'd rather raise it early and awkwardly than assume someone else has noticed.

If you read those four and thought "that's me" — apply. We'd rather train the right temperament than hire experience without it.

Assets, not requirements

- Live event production, AV, theatre, or touring experience
- Warehouse, inventory, or shipping/receiving background
- Class 5 driver's licence with a clean abstract; experience driving 3-ton or 5-ton trucks
- Forklift certification — we'll certify you if you don't have it
- Familiarity with inventory or rental management software of any kind

AV background preferred but not essential. Training provided.

Requirements





- Able to work independently once trained
- Willing to say something when something's wrong
- Steel-toed boots, or willing to buy a pair before your first shift

Physical requirements
- Frequent lifting of equipment up to 50 lbs — road cases, cable trunks, speakers, lighting fixtures
- Standing and walking for the majority of a shift
- Regular bending, reaching, pushing, and pulling
- Warehouse environment with variable temperatures

Where this goes Most of our leadership started somewhere else in this building. We promote from within, and we'd rather grow someone into more responsibility than hire it in.

You'll start hourly and move to salary. If you show us over your first months that you can own the warehouse — not just work the tasks — there's a clear path to leading it, with the title and pay that come with it. That's earned rather than assumed, and we'll tell you honestly how you're tracking along the way.

What we offer

- Extended health, dental, and vision plans for full-time staff after three months, with premiums split 50/50 between you and the company
- Flexible scheduling between 24 and 40 hours
- Training on professional audio, lighting, video, and staging equipment
- A small, direct team where what you do is visible — no layers between you and the people making decisions
- Genuine variety — no two weeks are the same

To apply Email your resume to [email protected].

Along with it, send us a few sentences about a system you built to keep something organized — at work, at home, in a garage, in a garden, anywhere. What was wrong with it before, what you changed, and whether it stuck.

We read every application and we'll get back to you either way.

New Horizon Productions is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from everyone.

Pay: $23.00-$28.00 per hour

Advantages

- Dental care

Application question(s):
- Describe a time you reorganized a space or system that wasn't working. What did you change, and is it still in place today?
- This role involves repetitive, detail-heavy work: checking equipment in and out, verifying model numbers and barcodes. What's your experience with work like that?
- Do you have a valid Class 5 driver's licence?
