Job Posting Information
Hey there, green thumbs and outdoor enthusiasts! Lincoln Parks and Recreation is on the hunt for some go-getters to join our team of Seasonal Parks Laborers. Picture this: you, surrounded by the beauty of Holmes Lake and Pioneers Park making the great outdoors even greater.
These positions are vital for keeping Lincoln's 168 parks, 185.9 miles of trails, public gardens, community forest, and conservation areas thriving.
Up to $20.00 per hour depending on experience and qualifications. 40 hours per week, generally Monday-Friday but may include rotating weekends, evenings, holidays, or special events.
Responsibilities? Sure, we've got 'em:
- Tackle maintenance of park grounds, buildings, sidewalks, trails and landscape materials like a pro, keeping everything in tip-top shape.
- Cruise around in (and safely operate) maintenance gear, because why walk when you can ride?
- Spruce up the place—mowing, trimming, planting, and basically turning our parks into an earthly paradise.
- Dive into janitorial duties like a superhero to keep everything spic-and-span —trash duty, restroom rescue, playground pickup.
- And when it's event time, be the unsung hero: set up, direct traffic, clean up, and make it all happen.
Applicants may indicate preference of working at the park district of their choice: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest. Not all location requests may be accommodated.
