Pelican's SnoBalls has an expansive, mature territory with hundreds of booked catering events each season. We are seeking an energetic, charismatic and capable individual. Ideally, the right hire will be someone who enjoys the change of scenery and fast pace that comes with serving at new venues each day and working outdoors. Event service and set-up is simple and straight forward but punctuality is a must. Bookings may be one of hundreds to us, but they are one of one to our customers.
Hours are based on booking dates and times. Events are confirmed and assigned to staff weekly to bi-weekly. You will be actively putting smiles on people's faces each day with the uplifting presence Pelican's brings to events. This position requires the ability to engage others and be social on-site. You will:
- Drive branded vehicles to and from events
- Pack up, serve, and break down events
- Help clean and maintain event equipment such as ice coolers, tables, etc.
- Be confident and independent on the job to ensure customers feel secure in our service
Event staff are not typically assigned in-store hours unless they are to clean up from events or maintain equipment. You are welcome to discuss this option if you'd like a more diverse set of hours. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out directly at any point during the application process. Thanks for your time!
Job Type: Part-time
Pay: From $12.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
- Paid training
Application Question(s):
- Aside from a standard cargo van, we have a large vehicle (think Fed-Ex box truck) to take to events. It does not require a special license to drive, but it does require confidence and an experienced driver. Are you familiar with driving a larger vehicle of any kind and are you prepared to handle a vehicle this size?
- Do you understand that your scheduled shifts will rely on the booking dates/times and that your schedule will need to be flexible enough to cover at least some of these bookings on various days throughout the week?
- This job will require lifting coolers of ice and heavy ice shavers (50lbs), setting up/ breaking down pop-up style tents, and otherwise serving customers outside during the summer heat. There is always shade and often fans but temperatures get hot in Columbia working outside regardless. Do you understand these working conditions and the general nature of this job being outside event service? You will be asked to demonstrate your ability to move applicable equipment.
- Time-off aside, are you willing and able to work events on the weekends?
- Time-off aside, are you willing and able to work events during daytime hours (9p-5p)?
- To be added to our insurance for driving our vehicles you will need to have your driver's license and background checked. Are you willing able to pass both of these? (Feel free to message with questions about either of these)
Education:
- High school or equivalent (Required)
Work Location: In person
