Warehouse Supervisor

**THIS ISN'T JUST A WAREHOUSE - THIS IS WHERE THE EVENT MAGIC BEGINS.**

Sure, it sounds kinda cheesy. But it's also kinda true. This isn't a standard dingy storage tank for spare parts. I mean, we do store a lot of items. But these are particular event-related items; candelabras, chandeliers, charger plates, chairs, tables, tents of all kinds, more chairs, specialty table linens, plateware/glassware, chairs again, decor, antiques and art pieces, a/v equipment... the list goes on. (did I say chairs?)

Our event warehouse is also a prop fabrication shop, creative hub, floral shop, laundry, bank vault, and problem-solving centre.
