The Tasks
CDS is seeking at least 15 additional casual staff to deliver Christmas displays throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria, starting in late October or earlier (see below). The same staff would be involved in dismantling the displays in late December through to mid January.
Selected staff will also be involved in pre-installation product preparation from early September to late October.
Installation work occurs during the day or nights with shifts of up to 10 hours common. Staff will either meet at the warehouse in North Williamstown to travel to jobs or will make their own way to each site. Reasonable travel time to site will be paid on the standard hourly rate. Staff will be paid above Award rates and a higher rate will apply to overtime.
Experienced staff will also be considered for team leader or project management roles within the Company.
Skills and Experience
Ideally staff would have experience in installing events, displays or visual merchandise. Past experience installing commercial Christmas decorations would be an advantage, though training will be provided and casual staff would also be working with experienced crew.
All staff will be required to adhere to a range of HR policies, including our Covid Safe Policy.
The personal attributes we value include:
- close attention to detail
- good communication skills
- helpful team players
- willingness to learn and take direction
- calmness under pressure
- Flexible and adaptable – you can resolve issues quickly and adapt to changing situations to make each install as seamless as possible
- psychical stamina and strength

Specific skills such as EWP and or Boom licence would be an advantage.
Please register your interest in this work as soon as possible and no later than the 8th September 2025. All applications should be submitted via Indeed and cover letter addressed to Eddie Oforikumah - Victorian Installation and Dismantlement Manager.
