About us
Here at Buffalo, building tents is our sport and since 2014 we have built a dream team of tipi tentists. Our team is built on positivity and personality. This creates an inclusive and productive working environment, making the muddy days rewarding and the sunny days an absolute pleasure.
THE JOB
We are looking for enthusiastic people to come and help build our giant tipis throughout the South West this summer (May - October).
Experience in erecting marquees or tipis would be great, but not essential. It's important that you are positive, confident and enjoy hard work in the great outdoors - everything else can be taught . You must however, have a full clean driving license.

THE HOURS

Due to the nature of the work and the early starts you must live near Buffalo HQ (SN13 9QP).

- You get your schedule a month in advance
- Competitive hourly wage
- Working outdoors all summer
