Position Overview
The St. Albert Curling Club is looking for a reliable, self-motivated individual to manage our early morning facility opening and ice preparation.
This is a solo position requiring someone who can work independently, take initiative, and complete a variety of tasks within strict time constraints. Following an initial training period, the successful candidate will be expected to manage their responsibilities with minimal supervision.
The role requires excellent attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to recognize and respond to changing priorities while ensuring the facility is safe, clean, and ready for members.
Key Responsibilities
Facility Opening & Maintenance
• Clear snow and ice from building entrances and sidewalks as required.
• Complete general cleaning duties, including vacuuming, tidying lounge areas, and maintaining washrooms.
• Identify and address facility concerns, prioritizing safety and operational needs.
Ice Maintenance & Preparation
• Operate the ice scraper machine following established procedures.
• Clean and maintain the scraper blade and properly store equipment.
• Complete ice preparation tasks to ensure the playing surface meets club standards.
• Work efficiently to ensure the ice is ready for scheduled play.
Member Service & Building Oversight
• Respond to member questions, concerns, and immediate needs.
• Maintain awareness of building operations and the safety of everyone entering the facility.
• Recognize situations requiring immediate attention or escalation to management who will, for the most part, be off-site.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
• Exceptional attention to detail: Takes pride in completing tasks accurately and consistently to a high standard.
• Strong time management: Can work efficiently under pressure and meet firm deadlines.
• Sound judgment and prioritization: Can assess situations, determine what needs immediate attention, and adjust priorities accordingly.
• Independence and initiative: Can follow established checklists and procedures without constant direction, while recognizing when adjustments are necessary.
• Reliability and accountability: Understands the responsibility of being the sole staff member on duty and takes ownership of the facility and its operations.
• Adaptability: Can respond appropriately to unexpected situations without losing sight of essential tasks.
• Positive member service: Is approachable, professional, and willing to assist members as needed.
Important to Understand
This position involves more than completing a checklist. Each morning may present different challenges, from unexpected snowfall to equipment concerns or member needs.
The successful candidate must be able to assess the situation, make appropriate decisions, and prioritize tasks while ensuring the facility and ice are ready for scheduled play.
Training will be provided for ice maintenance equipment and established procedures. However, the ability to work independently, demonstrate good judgment, and take responsibility for the shift is essential.
