Where an event scaffolder can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an event scaffolder already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Event scaffolders set up and dismantle temporary seating, stages and structures which support performance equipment, artists and the audience. Their job can include rope access, working above colleagues and lifting heavy loads, which makes it a high risk occupation. Their work is based on instruction, plans and calculations. They work indoors as well as outdoors.

Also known as scaffolding installer, scaffolding team member, scaffolding worker, scaffolding crew member.
