Calling All Workers, Blue Wahoos Seek Seasonal Help For Games

 

The excitement of a new Blue Wahoos baseball season, a new era, includes a welcome challenge for the organization to find game day staff members.

That is why an April 6-7 Job Fair at the stadium, which encompasses part-time positions within the Studer Family of Companies, is a needed two-day venture. The job-seeking event is open to all area residents who meet legal working age requirements in Florida.

There are a multitude of positions available within the Blue Wahoos, as well as Bubba’s Sweet Spot and Bodacious Shops on Palafox Street, plus the new Oyster Bay Boutique Hotel on Bayfront Parkway. The event at the stadium will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day and job-seekers will be given an application form to complete before interviews.

A majority of positions for Blue Wahoos games will be in food and beverage, helping to operate the stadium’s massive concession operation.

“We need as many folks as we can get our hands on,” said Candice Miller, human resources director. “We’re back. We are ready to play ball. We are committed to playing. And we will also do it in a safe manner.

“We are ready to help some of the people who have not been able to get back to work to get to work with us. They will get to experience our culture and everything we are about.”

When the Blue Wahoos play their 2021 home opener on May 11 against the Birmingham Barons, it will be the first Blue Wahoos game since September 7, 2019 – a span of nearly 20 months.

The first impact of the global coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 wiped out all of last season across Minor League Baseball. The Blue Wahoos held a job fair a year ago before the season was cancelled.

“It is a different experience than it has been,” said Miller, referring to changing times from all other Blue Wahoos seasons. “I am hoping we can get some good quality, customer-oriented people to come out and express the interest we are looking for… and to match them up with the right departments.

“It is so important to get these jobs filled, so we can provide the level of service that we are known for doing year afer year,” she said.

Applicants attending the job fair are asked to dress for a job interview, along with presenting a resume that includes contact information, education history, job experience and references. Candidates will be interviewed for all SFOC positions by members of the company staff.

Masks will be mandatory. Physical distance will be maintained. Other COVID-19 related procedures will be in place.

“People who are considering working for us should understand we do have safety protocols in place,” said Danielle Djuric, SFOC human resources assistant. “And that we have procedures, standards we follow.

“We are requiring masks. We are finding alternative methods to engage fans in a crowd during Blue Wahoos games and still show them a good time. So we want to make sure everyone is safe.”

More information on the Job Fair as to specific positions can be found on www.bluewahoos.com or by calling 850-934-8444 during regular business hours.

All applicants will be required to wear face coverings, should be prepared to interview at the job fairs and are encouraged to bring a resume and dress appropriately. Potential employees are subject to a background check and drug test.

Parking for the job fairs will be in Lot P and applicants may enter through the main stadium gates at the corner of A Philip Randolph Blvd. and E. Adams St.

Open positions are for seasonal employment, including but not limited to 72 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp baseball home games, additional stadium events and training. The ideal candidate is outgoing, enjoys being part of a team atmosphere and is ready to have FUN while providing top-notch customer service.

The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are seeking candidates for the following positions:

-GAME DAY TICKET SELLER/TICKET TAKER: One of the first points of guest interaction, the game day ticket seller/ticket taker will staff a ticket window at the box office approximately one hour before the gates open for that night’s game and work until the majority of the crowd has been served, approximately an hour after the game begins. 121 Financial Ballpark utilizes the Glitnir ticketing system, and the game day ticket seller will work in an efficient manner to meet fans’ needs for ticket purchases, exchanges and upgrades at the ticket window. Ticket takers will be responsible for greeting guests at the gate and scanning them into the ballpark.

-KIDS ZONE ATTENDANT: The kids zone attendant will staff one of the multiple children’s attractions at 121 Financial Ballpark. From the speed pitch to the giant inflatables and carnival-style games, the attendant is responsible for overseeing the safety of those in the area, as well as ensuring everyone is having FUN. Arrival time would be approximately one hour before gates open and end time would be dependent on crowd size.

-MERCHANDISE STORE EMPLOYEE: From stocking and organizing the store prior to the gates opening on game day to assisting customers with their merchandise purchases, the merchandise store employee will provide top-notch customer service while maintaining organization and attention to detail. Additionally, the merchandise employee may also be operating satellite merchandise kiosks, as well as hawking smaller items in the stands. Arrival time would be approximately a half-hour before gates open, and end time would be dependent on crowd size but could be following the game on busier nights. Retail experience is a plus.

-50/50 TICKET SELLER: Ticket sellers sell tickets to fans for the nightly 50/50 charitable raffle at Jumbo Shrimp home games. Sellers should comfortably handle large cash transactions and credit card machines, as well as the sale and distribution of 50/50 raffle tickets throughout their work shift. They work to engage fans and staff to spread awareness of the 50/50 raffle program. They solve problems quickly and efficiently and answer questions fans may have about the 50/50 raffle program. Ticket sellers are responsible for meeting and/or exceeding designated sales goals per game. Preferred candidates will be available to work a majority of the 70 home games, arriving 1.5 hours prior to game time.

-FAN EXPERIENCE REPRESENTATIVES: The Jumbo Shrimp’s most visible and helpful game day employee, the ideal Fan Experience Representative candidate is outgoing, knowledgeable about the ballpark and its rules and regulations, and enjoys interacting with people and having FUN. The Fan Experience Representatives will be located throughout the ballpark, including entry areas of the stadium. Fan Experience Representatives will also serve as friendly faces in many tasks including assisting fans to their seats, answering any questions guests may have, inspection of bags brought into the ballpark by guests and other tasks as needed. These staff members will also direct entry and exit of guests through areas within the ballpark. Arrival time would be approximately a half-hour before gates open for wiping down and preparing their seating section and last until at least the final out of the game, pending postgame activities.

-GAME DAY CLEAN TEAM: Team members will work throughout the game keeping 121 Financial Ballpark clean. Responsibilities will include keeping the main concourse tidy, responding to spill calls, emptying trash receptacles throughout the game, keeping restrooms clean and stocked with paper products and soap and generally keeping the stadium presentable. Team members will generally arrive a half-hour before the gates open and work through the end of the game, reporting to the stadium operations manager. Candidates may also be considered for non-game day work.

-BAT BOY: Collecting bats from the field is the part you have probably seen at a game, but there is more to the job of a bat boy – from filling water jugs before the game to getting the dugouts prepared and any other duties as assigned by the clubhouse manager. All bat boys must be at least 16 years of age by Opening Day (May 4).

-ID CHECKER: Fans consuming alcohol at Jumbo Shrimp games must first stop by an ID Check station to have their age verified and receive a wrist band from an ID Checker. ID Checkers will arrive at the ballpark a half-hour before gates open, and end time will be based on crowd size and no later than the seventh inning when alcohol sales end.

-PROMOTIONS TEAM: Assist and execute between-inning games, promotional activities, handing out giveaway items, and engaging fans in a FUN manner!

-BIRTHDAY PARTY HOST: The birthday party host will assist in all day-of executions of our birthday party packages at the ballpark. From working with our full-time staff members, to helping prepare the birthday area prior to guest arrival, to greeting and hosting the guests at the ballpark, to cleaning up once the party concludes, the ideal candidate will have an outgoing and upbeat personality with attention to detail and a priority on having FUN at the ballpark a must. The host will work based on birthday party bookings.
