About the role
The City of Lakeville is hiring a part-time Zamboni driver and lead worker for Lakeville Arenas, which runs Ames Arena and Hasse Arena. When the arena supervisors and managers are not in the building, this person is in charge of the operations crew.
The main job is the ice. You resurface between ice times and adjust the machine to the conditions, edge and shave the ice, and build it up to an even thickness. You also service the electric Zamboni and edger, from blade changes to battery care, and record each repair.
The work goes well beyond the ice. You check and log the ice plant, the dasher boards and glass, and safety equipment, clean the locker rooms and washrooms, and make small building repairs. Other duties include sharpening and renting skates, running concessions, mowing, and clearing snow.
The position is up to 28 hours a week, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. The posted pay is $18.55 to $22.49 an hour. The city lists it as open until filled.
