This job is for evenings and weekends. Generally, it's 2-3 shifts during the week and will be every other weekend. In the spring (May and June) we get busy so more hours will be available, and you'd be scheduled more weekend shifts in a row. We do make it a point to have a flexible schedule and can schedule around other events and functions. We use an app (for smartphones) for scheduling, dropping, and trading shifts so that making changes to your schedule is easier and quicker.
You’ll be on your feet most of the shift. We do require that you can lift 50 pounds, but we do have equipment for hauling anything of substantial weight. We also require that you can climb a ladder.
