About the role
TROFF Bars is a specialist mobile bar company delivering premium bars at weddings, festivals, private parties, and corporate events. We're looking for a highly practical, hands-on Mobile Events Operator to join our team.
This is a dynamic role for someone who thrives on variety — one day setting up coffee machines and beer lines, the next managing a team of bar staff at a high-end private event or festival. You'll be responsible for the smooth running of our bars on site, from setup to service to pack down.
Key Responsibilities
* Load, drive, and deliver bar infrastructure, equipment, and stock to venues across the UK
* Set up and operate bar infrastructure, including mobile coffee machines, beer lines, taps, and draught systems
* Manage teams and bar staff during live events, ensuring smooth service and high standards
* Conduct stock takes before and after each event to ensure accuracy and accountability
* Ensure all equipment is safely installed, tested, and event-ready
* Operate mobile bars (coffee and alcohol), serving drinks to a high standard during events
* Manage pack down, cleaning, and safe return of kit after events
* Carry out basic troubleshooting and maintenance on event equipment
* Work flexibly across a wide range of events (weddings, festivals, private parties, corporate functions)
Skills & Experience
* Experienced driving — towing is essential (trailers, vans, event vehicles)
* Able to work long hours, including evenings and weekends, as required by events
* Comfortable with very physical work — loading, setting up, lifting heavy kit, and unloading
* Highly practical with good technical problem-solving skills (coffee machines, draught systems, bar equipment)
* Previous festival and events experience an advantage
* Experience managing small teams or bar staff during events
* Professional, reliable, and able to represent TROFF Bars confidently with clients
* Team player with a flexible, "can-do" attitude
* A genuine Swiss army knife – adaptable, multi-skilled, and thrives in a live event environment
What We Offer
* Freelance / event-based work with £15–£20 per hour (for live event days, based on experience)
* Experience working with a wide range of clients including some of the UK best brands and companies
* Opportunity to be part of a passionate team delivering unforgettable event experiences
* Variety of work across premium private events, festivals, and corporate functions
This is more than just bar work — it's a hands-on operations role for someone who can drive, tow, set up, stock-manage, and run mobile bars while leading a team. If you're practical, adaptable, and thrive on the buzz of festivals and events, we'd love to hear from you.
