Location: Scottish Gas Murrayfield, Edinburgh

Join the Team for the 2026 Autumn Internationals
We're recruiting reliable, hardworking and enthusiastic Event Build & Break Staff to join our team at Scottish Gas Murrayfield for Scotland's huge 2026 Autumn International fixtures.
Be part of the team working behind the scenes to prepare one of the UK's most iconic rugby stadiums as Scotland welcome New Zealand, Australia and Japan to Edinburgh this November.
You'll have the opportunity to support the delivery of the following fixtures:
- Scotland v New Zealand – Saturday 7 November 2026
- Scotland v Australia – Sunday 15 November 2026
- Scotland v Japan – Saturday 21 November 2026
Unlike our customer-facing matchday roles, Event Build & Break is all about getting the venue ready before the crowds arrive and helping return it to operational readiness following each event.
You'll work as part of a busy operations team preparing bars, catering outlets and event areas across Scottish Gas Murrayfield.
With opportunities to work at other major sporting events, festivals and live venues across the UK, there are plenty of opportunities to continue working with Freemans Event Partners throughout the year.
The Role
As part of our Event Build & Break Team, you'll support the setup and breakdown of our food and beverage operations across Scottish Gas Murrayfield.
The role involves physical, hands-on work including moving equipment and stock, setting up service areas and ensuring everything is in the right place and ready for matchday.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
