Recruitment for key roles underway at Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre

Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre is ramping up recruitment ahead of its opening in 2026 with 12 new roles to fill over the coming months.

Venue operator, Victorian Convention and Event Trust (VCET), are building a local team to lead operations at the Centre, supporting the recently appointed General Manager, Rick Aylett.

These include key positions such as executive chef, event and venue operations manager, marketing specialist and sales executives.

Looking forward to building the foundational team at the venue, Aylett advised “Nyaal Banyul is more than a venue - it will be a space for creating meaningful connections and discovering new perspectives.

“Outstanding customer experience is at the heart of what we do, and it starts with a great organisational culture. I’m excited to start building our foundational team at Nyaal Banyul.

“While we’ll be benefiting from VCET’s 30-years of experience, as a local team we’ll be taking on a ‘start-up’ mentality.

“These new roles will be pivotal in shaping the identity and energy of Nyaal Banyul - enthusiasm, creativity and a customer-first attitude are the core traits we’re looking for.”

Applications for positions at Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre are now open, with more to be added over the coming weeks. For more information visit nyaalbanyul.com.au/work-with-us

Construction is progressing well for the precinct, set on Geelong’s waterfront.

Once complete, it will feature a 1,000-seat theatre and 3,700 square metres of flexible space.
