Ice Operations Rink Technician

Oak View Group runs Centene Community Ice Center in Maryland Heights, Missouri, the practice home of the St. Louis Blues and home rink for Lindenwood University. The building has three indoor sheets and an outdoor rink in winter. OVG is hiring a part-time Ice Operations Rink Technician who reports to the Director of Ice Operations.

The main job is driving the Olympia resurfacer between sessions and keeping all three sheets in shape. That means building and grooming the ice, checking depths, and doing the daily upkeep on the resurfacing machines. Some cuts are done in tandem with a second driver.

Other shifts are general rink work. You help put in and take out ice once a year, move dasher boards and glass, clean the glass, help custodial staff with locker rooms, and set up tables, stages, and pipe and drape for events. In winter that can include snow removal and exterior upkeep.

Pay is $18 to $19 an hour, and part-time staff can join the 401(k) plan with a company match. Expect nights, weekends, and holidays. The posting stays open until February 5, 2027.
