Hospitality & Events Manager
About the role
This is a full-time, on-site position based in Calgary, AB.
At Tool Shed, events don't happen in a vacuum - they happen in the middle of a busy brewery and taproom. We're looking for someone who loves hospitality just as much as they love planning. This role is a combination of event coordination, guest experience, and hands-on taproom operations.
You'll be responsible for planning and executing private events, community gatherings, reservations, and brewery activations while also being an active presence on the taproom floor. Whether you're meeting with clients, helping the team navigate a busy service, greeting guests, solving problems in real time, or ensuring an event runs seamlessly, you'll be a visible leader who helps create exceptional experiences every day - not just during events.
You'll work closely with our kitchen, bar, and leadership teams to coordinate logistics, manage bookings, build event timelines, maintain calendars, support marketing initiatives, and identify opportunities to grow event business. This is not a desk-only position; success in this role comes from being engaged with both our guests and our team.
Qualifications
Hospitality, restaurant, bar, or brewery experience is required. Applicants without relevant hospitality experience will not be considered. Experience coordinating events, large reservations, or private functions in a hospitality environment is strongly preferred. Strong communication, organization, and multitasking skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. Exceptional customer service skills with the confidence to resolve guest concerns and build lasting relationships. Sales experience with the ability to promote event packages, upsell offerings, and generate repeat business. Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required. Experience with reservation systems, scheduling software, and Microsoft Office is an asset. Post-secondary education in Hospitality, Event Management, or a related field is considered an asset but is not required.

About Tool Shed Brewing Company
Tool Shed Brewing Company embodies the spirit of Albertan entrepreneurship and creating world class experiences while passionately elevating Western Canadian Agriculture. After years of supporting IT infrastructure projects for the Canadian and US governments and military in Afghanistan, Graham Sherman returned to Calgary. He redirected his high-level, geeky thinking towards crafting beer in his backyard tool shed. The decision to leave his job and pursue this passion faced municipal, provincial, and federal regulatory hurdles, significant financial challenges, and even a global pandemic. Today, 11 years later, the entire Tool Shed team proudly stands in our 15,000 square foot Brewery and BBQ Restaurant, a symbol of resilience, entrepreneurialism, and unconventional guerrilla marketing. Tool Shed consistently produces award-winning beers and barbecue, including World Championship Gold in 2022.
