Frequently asked questions
Operating the Olympia ice resurfacer is a key task here, so familiarity or experience with such equipment is highly advantageous. Mastery of heavy machinery or ice cutting tools will help maintain quality rink surfaces efficiently during busy skating sessions.
Routine duties include grooming ice depths, resurfacing between sessions, and managing ice quality for various activities. Technicians also handle equipment upkeep and ensure rink glass and dasherboards are cleaned and in good condition for safety and performance.
Maryland Heights offers a community-centric environment with less commute congestion than bigger cities. This can translate to more predictable schedules and a lifestyle that balances evening or weekend shifts with personal time, especially valuable in part-time positions.
Maryland Heights, being close to St. Louis with its active hockey culture, sees steady demand for rink technicians. Competition exists but skilled candidates with hands-on equipment experience and flexibility in hours tend to stand out in this niche market.
Entry-level technicians often advance by gaining expertise in ice management technologies and venue operations. With experience, roles can evolve into supervisory positions or specialized maintenance, especially within a leading venue like Centene Community Ice Center.
Dallas Convention Center emphasizes efficiency and safety, so technicians are expected to uphold high standards in ice quality and equipment maintenance. The culture encourages proactive problem-solving and adaptability, particularly during event-driven scheduling.
Along with competitive pay between $15 and $17 per hour, part-time staff gain access to a 401(k) savings plan paired with employer matching, providing valuable long-term financial benefits uncommon in many hourly, part-time roles.
While prior experience with ice resurfacers is preferred, candidates with experience operating heavy equipment or strong mechanical aptitude may also qualify. The role values ability to learn and safely operate machinery under supervision.
Candidates must be prepared for physical labor including lifting over 50 pounds, performing manual rink maintenance, and assisting with setup tasks like removing dasher boards or staging equipment, which requires stamina and attention to safety protocols.
The outdoor rink operates during colder months, requiring technicians to adjust to winter conditions and support seasonal transformations, including converting the space to a music park in summer, which diversifies maintenance duties throughout the year.
