Are you looking for an opportunity to grow your skills and flex your creativity? Maybe you’d like to be part of a WOW project to see how the magic unfolds? You might just be the person we are looking for to help us realize our clients dreams!
Our team is always growing and roles evolving, so if you’ve applied for a similar position with us before but didn’t hear back, please feel free to apply again!

- Bonus Skill: Develop and lead floral workshops
To thrive as part of the CC Team, you’ll need to:
- Happily cooperate as part of a team, taking direction from both leads and fellow crew members

- Keep safety in mind at all times
- Possess excellent spoken English and general communication skills
