Park Aide (Tahoma Gateway Area)

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission • Auburn, WA • 10h ago

This recruitment will be used to fill multiple non-permanent Park Aide positions starting March 1st, located throughout the Tahoma Gateway Area; Dash Point, Flaming Geyser, Kanaskat-Palmer, Nolte and Saltwater State Parks. Most positions are 3-5 months in duration, beginning March-June. The number of vacancies will vary from park to park. Employees who have workstations located in King County receive a 5% premium pay in addition to the salary listed.

Temporary Washington State Park Aide jobs are perfect for:

People who like to get outside and enjoy nature, do physical work, and contribute to a truly important mission - maintaining a fantastic Parks system for everyone!

Individuals who are interested in a longer-term career with State Parks. Many permanent staff, including members of our executive team, started their careers as Park Aides.

Students who are looking for summer work.

Active retirees looking for work that keeps them moving and doing good in the world. Less than full-time work is a possibility in many locations.

Some benefits you might not know or be thinking about:

Temporary positions are eligible for vacation and sick leave.

Holiday pay might be available to you depending on when and how long you work.

Great teammates who care about their work.

Learning and refining a set of very practical and transferrable job skills.

Being in nature is good for your physical and mental well-being.

Wildlife sightings! From chipmunks and quail, to orcas and moose, and everything in between.

Park Aide jobs can be fun, fulfilling and career starters, but there are a few important things to consider:

Weekend work is expected, and you might be asked to work evening shifts.

Our Parks are busiest on spring and summer holidays, so we need more of our workers to be on schedule those days. Getting time off around a holiday is not guaranteed.

Bathroom cleaning is a task that most Park Aides get to experience fairly regularly.

Most positions are at least moderately physical -- walking, raking, bending, kneeling, lifting and moving lighter items (and heavier ones with assistance). If that is not appropriate for you, but you are still interested, read the announcement carefully to determine if there might be a position dedicated to less physical work at the park(s) you are interested in.

Park housing and RV parking is not available for this area.

Primary duties include, but are not limited to:

All positions- Maintain park facilities through light routine maintenance and janitorial services.

Perform grounds maintenance work, such as cutting grass, weeding flower beds, pruning shrubs, raking leaves, and picking up litter.

Maintain park lawns using a mower, weed eater, trimmer, and various maintenance tools.

Provide park information to visitors and answer phones.

Perform daily garbage collection and litter control.

Clean restrooms and stock cleaning supplies.

Clean rental properties and perform general housekeeping duties including washing windows, scrubbing floors, mopping, and sweeping.
