Job Overview:
Snowmaking Technicians are responsible for the safe and efficient operation of Snow Valley’s snowmaking system. Snowmaking is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week operation that continually evolves as conditions change from shift to shift. Technicians create and maintain snow levels across the resort using high-pressure air and water to provide excellent snow quality for our guests.
Technicians maintain snowmaking equipment before, during and after use to support efficient performance and safe operation. They check snow texture and adjust equipment as needed, report weather changes to the Snowmaking Supervisor and maintain constant communication with the entire crew. Snowmaking keeps you outside in all weather conditions, so an enjoyment of the outdoors is necessary.
Snowmaking shifts are 12 hours long, operating on an 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. schedule whenever favourable snowmaking conditions exist.
