JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR GENERAL PARK EMPLOYEMENT This is a general description of job duties that regular park team members perform. Team members may be assigned additional tasks above and beyond the duties listed below. All team members are expected to keep busy during down times by cleaning and organizing their work areas. Team members may be rotated among these positions frequently or may be assigned one task for the duration of their employment. How often a team member rotates positions is determined solely by Enchanted Forest management. Attraction Attendant – Attraction attendants generally work to help guests utilize an attraction quickly and efficiently. The job functions that attraction attendants perform vary greatly depending on the attraction. An attendant may be responsible for taking tickets, showing a guest how to utilize an attraction (Pan for Treasure, etc.) or operating an attraction unseen by the public. Attraction attendants are in a better position to make a guest's stay magical, so attendants must be smiley, patient, and kind. Attendants must be able to work unsupervised and perform additional tasks as assigned. Cashier – Cashiers are responsible for accurately reporting sales on a Point-Of-Sale system, giving accurate change, handling money and other negotiable instruments, bagging and distributing merchandise, restocking food and merchandise, and providing excellent guest service. Cashiers must be able to stand for long periods of time. Cashiers are also responsible for keeping their work area clean and tidy. This may include sweeping, mopping, window cleaning, and other light cleaning duties. Cashiers must be able to work unsupervised and perform additional tasks as assigned. Food Preparation – Food preparation team members work in teams to prepare and serve food to guests and other team members in a safe and efficient manner. Food handlers must present a valid food handler's card within 30 days of hire. (To obtain a food handlers card, go to http://www.orfoodhandlers.com. You must pass a test on food safety and pay a $10 fee). In addition to preparing food, food prep team members are responsible for cleaning and sanitizing work areas, washing dishes, learning and implementing food safety systems, restocking and rotating food merchandise, and other tasks as assigned. Team members who work in food areas generally perform cashiering functions as well. Relief Team Member – Relief team members give breaks to other team members who cannot leave their work area. Relief team members are given a schedule of breaks to perform and are responsible for accurately reporting break times to management. While not giving breaks, relief team members are assigned tasks by the supervisory staff. Relief team members must be able to work unsupervised. Park Sweeper – Park sweepers are assigned a route and are responsible for keeping their area clean. Sweepers are also responsible for conducting restroom spot checks. Sweepers carry a broom, dust receptacle, squeegee, and a bottle of cleaning solution. Sweepers constantly walk up and down the hill throughout the day and are frequently asked to carry stock and merchandise to various locations throughout the park. Sweepers are expected to know the layout and history of the park to assist guests who may need information or directions. Parking Lot Attendant – Lot attendants are responsible for directing traffic, protecting guest cars from theft, and providing a safe and cheerful presence in our parking lots. Because parking lot attendants are the first and last team member our guests usually see, lot attendants are expected to wave and smile a lot while on duty. Lot attendants must be able to stand for extended periods of time on hard surfaces like asphalt and gravel. Lot attendants must be visible at all times, so they are generally assigned to stand in the middle of the parking lot where there is minimal shade. In extreme cases, external temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, so lot attendants must be able to withstand extreme weather. Ride Attendant – You must be 18 years or older to work as a ride attendant or operator. A ride attendant's primary function is to ensure the safe operation of the ride they are working on. The work that ride attendants do varies greatly depending on the ride and position they are assigned. The following is a list of functions and requirements for the different tasks that ride attendants perform: • Loader / Unloader – The loading staff is charged with ensuring that guests get on and off of ride safely. Loaders / unloaders are also responsible for taking tickets, checking bracelets, enforcing height requirements, and keeping an accurate count of guest ridership. • Ride Operators – Ride operators are responsible for the safe operations of the ride. On smaller rides, ride operators may also perform loading and unloading functions. • Ride Observer – The Big Timber Log Ride is the only ride at this time that uses ride observers. Ride observers sit in a defined location and watch for unsafe behavior and situations. The ride observer has the authority to shut down the ride if they believe unsafe conditions exists. It is extremely important that ride observers have a good attention span as most of their duties consist of observation. Observers may also give guests verbal instructions over a loud speaker if a guest is observed doing something unsafe. Observers may also be responsible for unloading guests off the ride in the event of a safety shutdown. In addition to the duties listed above, ride attendants may be assigned additional tasks during slower times. Slide Attendant - Slide attendants are charged with ensuring that guests follow safety rules while using one of our slides. In addition, slide attendants space out sliders on the slide to prevent collisions and control the speed of the slide to maximize slider enjoyment and safety. Slide attendants must be able to speak in a loud clear voice, correct unsafe sliding behavior in a manner that does not offend the slider, and be able to control large crowds of people with friendliness and tact. Slide attendants perform many repetitive tasks (e.g. preparing mats for sliders and giving safety instructions to each slider before they slide) but must perform those tasks cheerfully. Slide attendants must be able to work unsupervised and perform additional tasks as assigned. Dress Code You are the key to creating a memorable guest experience. You are expected to demonstrate professionalism and good judgment in your appearance.
