Duties:

Visitor Facilities Attendant (Stream 1):
Facilities Attendants play a very important role here in Jasper National Park. They are tasked with cleaning and maintaining Parks Canada Agency buildings/facilities and grounds in all corners of the Park.

Facility Attendants typically work in a team during peak season however, those that work earlier or later in the season will have more independent work.

The right people to fill these positions should take pride in their work, and going the extra mile to contribute to creating memorable experiences for visitors.

As a presence in all regions of the park, Facility Attendants have the opportunity to interact with visitors and answer inquiries, provide direction and represent the Parks Canada Agency at all times in addition to their routine cleaning and maintenance duties.

Visitor Services Attendant (Stream 2):

Campgrounds - Campground Attendants welcome visitors from all over the world, providing information, and education about camping in the national park.

Campground Attendants provide information on a wide variety of topics including camping, fees, safety, weather, trails, day use areas, wildlife, park regulations and policies.

Our team members spend time working outdoors; they are responsible for cleaning facilities, providing minor maintenance, and conducting facility rounds to ensure visitor compliance with park regulations.

Team members are also accountable for collecting fees and keeping accurate financial records.

Entry Gates - As the first line of contact for visitors entering Jasper National Park, Gate Attendants have the privilege of welcoming visitors into the park and setting the tone for their visit.

Gate Attendants at any of Jasper's three gates provide a friendly service to visitors entering Jasper by collecting revenue through the sale of park passes, and providing basic safety and park information.

Gate Attendants work independently for most of their shift but their work contributes to the smooth functioning of a larger team.

Work environment:
