Introduction

If you are passionate about the outdoors and embrace the idea of living and playing in the mountains while working on a mountain with a team of like-minded individuals, Jasper SkyTram is the place for you!

Jasper SkyTram is considered a “must do” for people of all ages and abilities while visiting Jasper National Park in the summer season. We strive to create a compelling experience for our guests, but it is equally important to us to foster an environment of growth, opportunity, and memories for the people that work with us. We have the privilege of employing people from all around the world to experience and share one of the most beautiful places on the planet in a family-fun and adventurous way.

Position Overview

Lift Operations Shift Leaders oversee the day-to-day operations related to the lift itself including guest relations and SkyTram Guide duties. They ensure daily compliance with operating schedules, safety procedures and protocols, ticket control, staff deportment and log keeping. They monitor staff performance, open and close the property for daily operations with or in the place of the Tram Operations Supervisor, and maintain effective communication with all departments and managers. This position will benefit from an upbeat and animated individual who enjoys dealing with and speaking directly to customers as well as supervising a small team. Wage starts at $20.00/hr.

What does a day in the life of a Lift Operations Shift Leader look like?

The SkyTram hours of operation vary during the time of the season. For the shoulder seasons (Spring and Fall) there is just one shift during the day. During the Summer months, there are 2 shifts (morning and afternoon/evening). Morning shifts start as early as 7:30 AM and afternoon shifts around 2/3:00 PM. A complimentary staff shuttle is available to transport everyone between the mountain and staff accommodation located in the Jasper townsite. You will arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the public in order to gather updates, relay them to the Lift Operations team and designate positions to start safety checks on the lift and complete opening duties. During the peak season (July, August), it’s not uncommon for guests to be on site and waiting for the tram to open so it’s important to work through the opening checks as efficiently as possible.

You need to ensure that all checks and test flights are completed and that the Upper Station Shift Leader and any other staff are sent up to the upper station before the first public. The Lower Station Shift Leader will run the lift operations at the bottom of the lift and the Upper Station Shift Leader will supervise the lift operations at the top.

Both Lower and Upper Station Shift Leaders work with the entire team to ensure that a safe and efficient flight schedule is maintained while greeting and guiding guests on the mountain. They will assist the Ticket Checkers with scanning tickets and loading/unloading tram cars every 9 minutes and work directly with the Guest Services team to allocate guests on specific flights. Shift Leaders will at times need to address guest concerns and trouble shoot when daily operations are off schedule (eg, inclement weather, high winds, missing guests). Shift Leaders play a key role in providing a positive experience for both guests and staff alike through consistent communication and working closely with other departments.

Both Lower and Upper Station Shift Leaders act as main points of contacts while working closely with other department supervisors and managers assisting with building operations such as monitoring water levels, cleanliness around property as well as our being initial First Aid responders.

The Shift Leader position is an exciting opportunity for those individuals who enjoy leading and supporting a small team in a high energy, professional, yet fun-loving environment.
