Love bartending? Love events? Want to work at some of Portland's most exciting celebrations?
Pearl Catering is heading into our busiest season, and we're looking for seasoned, professional bartenders to join our growing event team!
Every event is different. One weekend you could be pouring craft cocktails at a beautiful vineyard wedding, the next serving guests at a downtown corporate gala, a private birthday celebration, or an elegant charity fundraiser. If you enjoy a fast-paced environment, meeting new people, and creating memorable guest experiences, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
- Mix and serve cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages
- Assist with full event setup, including bar preparation, stocking, and organization
- Provide outstanding hospitality throughout each event
- Work closely with our catering and event teams to ensure flawless execution
- Participate in complete event tear-down, including breakdown of bars, packing equipment, and loading back into company vehicles
- Help transport and organize bar supplies and equipment as needed
We're Looking For
- Experienced bartenders (high-volume and/or craft cocktail experience preferred)
- Friendly, energetic professionals who genuinely enjoy hospitality
- Team players who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves
- Dependable individuals with reliable transportation to venues throughout the Portland metro area and surrounding communities
- Ability to lift 40+ pounds and work on your feet for extended periods
- Current Oregon OLCC Service Permit and Food Handler Card (or ability to obtain before starting)
