The Memphis Redbirds will host a job fair on Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20 in the newly-renovated Home Plate Club at AutoZone Park. The team is seeking outgoing and fan-friendly individuals to join the seasonal, game day staff for the upcoming 2016 season.
“The Memphis Redbirds are looking for passionate, positive individuals looking for a fun job at the ballpark, as we build the best possible staff this summer. Every Redbirds employee plays a vital role in the fan experience at AutoZone Park,” said Redbirds General Manager Craig Unger. “It’s a great feeling that the Redbirds organization has the opportunity to provide jobs for nearly 250 people in the Memphis community.”
This is the first large job fair like this for the Redbirds. Unger says it’s perfect for high school kids, teachers, and retirees who have more free time in the summer. “One thing is, it’s really going to be availability. We have 72 games a year and we start the beginning of April into September. If people have that availability, it’s largely in the evenings, it could be a part time job outside of other things.”
Game day positions to be hired include the following: Marketing Assistant, Operations Assistant, Media Relations Assistant, Mascot, Sound Board Operator, Video Board Operator, Boardwalk Operators, Boardwalk Supervisors, Dakstats Operator, Public Address Announcer, Emcees, Team Rockey, Usher Supervisors, Ushers/Ticket Takers, Box Office Ticket Sellers, Bat Boys & Bar Girls, Grounds Crew, and RBI Instructors & Umpires.
All positions offer flexible hours and schedules, with shifts ranging from four to six hours in length and hourly wages that vary by position. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age.
Interested applicants should come prepared to interview with a Redbirds staff member. Each position applied for requires its own application.
