Careers and Recruitment Wills

Join Us

 

As Wills Marquees continues to grow following its merger with long-standing partners in Scotland, Lincolnshire and the Midlands, we are building a national and international business and we are looking for the next generation to grow with us.

A career at Wills is not office-bound. It is practical, hands-on and outward-facing. Our work takes place on private estates, historic venues and remarkable landscapes across the UK and increasingly overseas. No two projects are the same, and no two weeks look alike. We are looking to recruit across the whole of the UK for roles at our Regional offices. Currently located in the Edinburgh, York, Lincoln and Lichfield area; two more bases in the South will follow.

New starters join us and are trained across two core areas of the business: marquee manufacture and marquee rental which incorporates event delivery. Some choose to specialise; others develop careers that combine both understanding how structures are made as well as how they are installed, managed and delivered on site. This breadth of experience is unusual and highly valued in the broader events industry.

Working at Wills suits people who enjoy:

  • Working outdoors and being physically active
  • Travelling to new places and venues
  • Seeing a project through from planning to completion
  • Working as part of a close, skilled team
  • Dealing directly with clients, planners and fellow event professionals

Our teams are involved in every stage of an event: preparation, logistics, build, client liaison and delivery. You learn responsibility early, develop confidence quickly, and take pride in work that is physical, hands on, and visually spectacular.

Most importantly, this is a career, not a short-term job. All of our senior team members started on site and progressed through the business as their skills, interests and responsibilities grew.

If you are practical, motivated, enjoy working with people and want a role that combines craftsmanship, travel and event management, Wills Marquees offers a fulfilling and distinctive career path.

We are recruiting across the UK!
