Burning Man Jobs
Burning Man is organized by a group called Black Rock City, although jobs and volunteer opportunities can be found through the Burning Man site as opposed to exclusively finding work through Black Rock City. A large portion of the work that goes into Burning Man is in planning. Because of the displays and reputation the festival has earned, a great deal of the work involved for Black Rock City goes into making sure the festival is safe and that rules of the festival are followed by all who attend.
A great deal of the work accomplished by Burning Man is volunteer based. The essence of giving back and helpfulness promoted by the festival lends itself to a large number of volunteers who come forward each year.
Burning Man needs volunteers who are willing to help set up Black Rock City before the event, help with lighting, art installations, box office, cleanup, and emergency services. There are earth guardians, greeters, recycle camp and perimeter workers, San Francisco office workers, theme camp operators, tech and web teams, rangers, safety officers, lamplighters and PR staff. All of these jobs are often advertised as volunteer positions through Burning Man.
Anyone interested in working for Burning Man can apply directly through the Burning Man Festival website.
