• Assist with the safe and secure loading and unloading of event linens, chargers, event furniture, and other materials at both the warehouse and event venues, ensuring products are protected from damage during transit.

On-Site Installation and Client Service

• Act as the primary on-site representative for Nuage Designs, embodying the company's commitment to "white glove" service and professionalism.

• Serve as the on-site team lead, directing the delivery crew to ensure a smooth, efficient, and precise installation and strike (take-down).

• Confirm that all products delivered are correct and that the setup aligns precisely with the provided client specifications or floor plans.

• Maintain a professional appearance at all times, wearing a clean, neat Nuage-branded uniform (or client-supplied uniform, when required) from the start to the end of the shift.
