Reports to: Production Manager

Craft Lake City is seeking a DIY Festival Production Lead for a highly physical, hands-on leadership role at the Craft Lake City DIY Festival.

The Production Lead serves as a working supervisor, bridging the gap between Production Assistants and the Production Manager while actively participating in the physical labor required to build and operate the Festival site.

  • Team-oriented attitude with a willingness to step in wherever needed

  • Comfortable managing both people and physical production tasks simultaneously

Physical Requirements (Essential)

  • Must be able to lift and carry 25–50 lbs repeatedly throughout the day

  • Must be able to stand, walk, bend, and work on your feet for 12+ hours daily

  • Must be able to walk 10+ miles per day across uneven terrain

  • Must be able to work in direct sun and heat (90°F+) for extended periods

  • Must be able to perform continuous hands-on labor including setup and teardown

Responsibilities

  • Lead Production Assistants through hands-on setup, live event operations, and teardown

  • Actively participate in building and breaking down Festival infrastructure

  • Assign and direct physical tasks while working alongside the crew

  • Maintain pace, morale, and safety during long, physically demanding shifts

  • Communicate priorities, changes, and expectations clearly throughout the day

  • Monitor crew performance and provide immediate coaching and redirection

  • Serve as the first point of escalation for on-site challenges

  • Conduct pre-shift briefings and end-of-day wrap-ups

  • Assist with logistics planning and site walkthroughs

  • Track task completion, incidents, and inventory in real time

  • Support volunteer coordination as needed
