About the Role
We’re looking for a friendly, dependable person to help run our portable mini golf events in and around Ames. This is a part-time role that requires flexibility – perfect for someone who enjoys working outdoors, engaging with people, and being part of something fun and a little different. Events typically last around 5-8 hours, including setup and teardown, and you’ll always be working alongside another team member.
You’ll be setting up our mini golf courses at birthday parties, corporate events, churches, retirement homes, festivals, and more. Once the course is ready, you’ll help guests get started, explain the rules, hand out putters and balls, and keep things running smoothly. At the end of the event, you’ll work with your teammate to take everything down, load it up on the trailer, and take it away.
What You’ll Do
- Set up and take down portable mini golf courses with your teammate
- Help transport and unload course materials (lifting 50 lbs between two people)
- Interact with guests and ensure everyone’s having a good time, collect payments
- Keep the course clean, safe, and organized during the event
- Keep an eye on troublemaking players
- Pack up and return the course to storage
What We’re Looking For
- Someone friendly, reliable, and comfortable talking with people
- Ability to lift and carry equipment (up to 50 lbs), comfortable driving
- Availability on weekends, and occasional weekdays
