Reports To: Installation Manager or Lead Tent Installer
Employment Type: Full-time
Position SummaryThe Tent OX Operator is responsible for safely and efficiently operating the Tent OX system — a specialized articulated loader equipped with 10+ tent-specific attachments designed for the tent and event rental industry. This role dramatically accelerates tent installation and teardown by handling heavy materials, driving/pulling stakes, pulling roof panels, pushing center poles, and moving thousands of pounds of equipment with minimal crew support. The operator works as a key member of the installation team to complete jobs faster, safer, and with less physical strain on the crew.
Key Responsibilities- Operate the Tent OX articulated loader and all attachments (stake driver/puller, material handler, roof panel puller, pole pusher, etc.) on job sites.
- Transport, load, unload, and position tent components, frames, poles, and materials quickly and accurately.
- Drive and pull stakes at high volume (e.g., 200+ per hour) while maintaining precision and site safety.
- Perform daily pre- and post-operation equipment inspections, maintenance, and cleaning.
- Collaborate closely with the lead installer and crew to follow job plans, CAD layouts, and safety protocols.
- Ensure compliance with all company safety standards, especially when working on grass, turf, or uneven terrain (using turf tires as needed).
- Assist with general tent setup/teardown tasks as required when the machine is not in use.
- Travel to event sites and work flexible hours, including weekends and occasional overnights.
- Previous experience operating heavy equipment, articulated loaders, skid steers, or similar machinery (preferred; on-the-job training on Tent OX available for strong candidates).
- Valid driver’s license; ability to obtain DOT medical card (CDL not required).
- Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to troubleshoot basic equipment issues.
- Physical stamina to work outdoors in all weather conditions; ability to lift 50+ lbs and climb in/out of equipment.
- Reliable, safety-focused mindset with excellent attention to detail.
- Team player who can work independently when operating the machine.
- Willingness to travel and work weekends/evenings during peak event season.
- Ability to pass a drug screen and background check.
