Job description

Be part of action in the Charleston area! Football season is a great time join the team!This is a PART-TIME, EVENT-BASED opportunity serving The Citadel and Charleston Southern University football games.
At EPI, you don't just work a job-you get to be part of the experience. Our event staff is on the front lines of professional and collegiate sporting events, concerts, festivals, and major events throughout the Charleston area.
If you enjoy being around people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want a job where no two events are exactly the same, EPI gives you the opportunity to experience live events from a completely different perspective.
From the moment the gates open to the final whistle, encore, or closing announcement, you are part of making the event happen.
What You'll Do
EPI provides event management and staffing for a wide variety of live events. Depending on the event, you may work in roles including:
  • Parking and traffic operations
  • Ticket taking and guest entry
  • Security screening
  • Ushers and guest services
  • Crowd management
  • Hospitality and suite services
  • Access control
  • Barricade operations
  • Back-of-house event operations
  • And much more

You could spend one shift helping fans find their seats at a college football game, the next assisting with a concert, and another working behind the scenes at a major festival.
Every event is different. Every shift is an opportunity to be part of something happening in your community.
Our schedules are built around live events, making this a great opportunity for individuals seeking flexible part-time work while still wanting to be involved in an exciting environment.
Whether you're looking for additional income, enjoy sports and entertainment, want to meet new people, or simply want a job that's more interesting than sitting behind a desk, EPI puts you where the action is.
You'll gain valuable experience in customer service, event operations, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving-all while working alongside a team responsible for helping some of the area's biggest events run successfully.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for people who are:
  • Reliable - If you accept a shift, we need you to show up and be ready to work.
  • Outgoing - You're comfortable interacting with guests and working with a team.
  • Energetic - Live events move quickly, and we need people who can keep up.
  • Professional - You represent EPI and our clients every time you put on the uniform.
  • Team-oriented - Great events happen when everyone works together.
  • Customer-focused - You can remain friendly and professional, even when situations get challenging.

Requirements
  • Must be 18 years of age or older
  • Must have a High School Diploma or GED
  • Must be able to pass a background check
  • Must maintain a neat and presentable appearance
  • Must be able to stand and remain active for extended periods of time
  • Must be able to provide excellent customer service in a variety of situations
  • Must be dependable and committed to working the shifts you accept

Why EPI?
Because work doesn't have to feel like work.
At EPI, you can experience live sporting events, concerts, festivals, and other major events while playing an important role in their success.
You're not sitting in the stands-you're behind the scenes, on the field level, at the gates, in the crowd, and in the middle of the action.
If you're dependable, energetic, and ready to be part of something bigger than a typical part-time job, we want you on the EPI team.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class.
