Onsite Specialist

Who You Are

Swoogo seeks a hands-on, customer-focused Onsite Specialist to deliver our onsite services from first scope to final tear down. You will scope and quote custom engagements, order the hardware and consumables, and manage each project from start to finish. You will also lead our network of contract onsite technicians, who deliver most of our onsite work, and travel to events as the onsite technician yourself when an engagement calls for it. This role combines technical skill, project discipline, and the composure to run live check-in for a client's event. You report to the Senior Director, Onsite and work closely with Professional Services, Support, and our hardware partners.

Order hardware and consumables

• Place hardware and consumable orders (printers, scanners, tablets, badge stock, cables) with Swoogo's fulfillment partners and vendors

• Build and maintain the project timeline, task list, and status for every engagement
• Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies clearly to clients and internal stakeholders
• Manage multiple engagements at once across different dates and locations
• Close out each engagement with a wrap-up of equipment used, issues, and the inputs needed for accurate billing

Lead the contractor network

• Onboard new contract technicians and enroll them in Swoogo Onsite Certification
• Coordinate contractor availability and assign the right technician to each engagement
• Prepare project briefs for handover, covering scope, venue details, equipment, schedule, and client contacts
• Provide remote support to contractors during live events, and step in directly when an issue needs escalation
• Generate post-event reconciliation reports covering hours, equipment, expenses, and billing inputs
• Collect feedback from contractors and clients after every event, and report trends to the Senior Director, Onsite
• Maintain contractor records, certification status, and performance history

Deliver onsite

• Travel to events as the onsite technician on engagements you deliver yourself, representing Swoogo to the client
• Set up, configure, and test check-in stations, badge printers, and related hardware and networking
• Train client and event staff on check-in, badge printing, and equipment use
• Troubleshoot hardware, printing, connectivity, and software issues in real time during live events, and escalate to Support or Product when needed
