Career and freelance opportunities at On Stage Services
Who We Are
OnStage has been providing backline for festivals, tours, and concerts since 1999 — and we've built our reputation the same way everyone in this industry does: by showing up, doing the work right, and being the company people call again. We operate with locations out of Grand Rapids, MI and Clearwater, FL, supporting productions nationally and internationally.
We're not a warehouse full of strangers. Our core team and extended network of freelance techs align with our core values and share the same standard: gear leaves the shop show-ready, the advance is done thoroughly, and the show is protected at every stage.
If that sounds like the way you work, we'd like to know you.
What we offer
Competitive Pay → Pay That Reflects the Work Fair rates for day calls and multi-day events, paid on time. No chasing invoices.
Opportunities for Growth → A Network, Not Just a Gig OSS has been in this industry since 1999. The relationships we've built — with promoters, festivals, and production companies across the country — become part of your professional world when you work with us.
Collaborative Culture → A Shop That Runs Clean We follow professional standards in the warehouse, on trucks, and on-site. No drama, no shortcuts, no one too important to load a truck. Every role matters and everyone knows it.
Real-World Experience → Gear Worth Knowing You'll work with touring-grade backline, vintage instruments, and equipment that actually shows up on riders — not the stuff that sits in the corner of a rehearsal studio. Real shows, real gear, real techs to learn from.
