We are looking for a workshop team member to help the workshop manager with the day-to-day running of our busy seasonal wintersports workshop and undertake ski and snowboard servicing. This is a weekend position for the winter season, normally from September to April. We ideally need someone who can work Saturdays, and there will be the option of additional hours on some Sundays and the odd weekday evening at peak times. If you are thinking of doing a season in resort or looking after your own skis and snowboards this is an ideal opportunity to do learn the skills whilst getting paid in a very busy wintersports workshop.

Experience Required
Ideally someone who has undertaken ski and/or snowboard servicing before either privately or for employment, or transferable skills such as woodworking may be useful but most importantly and interest and/or a passion for wintersports as full training will be given to the right candidate.
