The following information is provided to help you understand what the job duties of a Parking Assistant are, what we are looking for in potential candidates, and how our selection process works.

The Parking Assistant position is divided into three levels. All students begin at Level One. Advancement to the next level depends upon your job performance, reliability, length of employment, and your expressed interest in advancing.

Since the number of duties in any given week varies, so will the number of hours an attendant is scheduled each week. Our office is open 6 a.m. until 1 a.m. every day of the week (though we do schedule occasional overnight shifts). It is important to keep this in mind when listing your availability - the more hours you make available, the easier it will be for us to schedule you. Therefore, if you are depending on this job for rent or fees, this may not be the position you want.

Candidates must be friendly and courteous; be willing to work weekend and evening shifts; and be able to accurately communicate parking and event information.

Note: A valid driver's license is required for employment at Parking and Transportation Services.

Level One

Information booths, event permit sales, barricading, and disabled transports:
$9.50/hour
Parking Assistants at this level sell parking permits (at special events) and help campus visitors with directions and general campus information at the Information Kiosks. They will also help with disabled transports, set-up signs and barricades, and will “balance out” by reconciling the number of permits sold with the amount of cash taken in at the end of each shift.

Level Two

Traffic direction, equipment set-up, bike program, and event driving:
$10.50/hour
In addition to the above duties, Parking Assistants at level two will direct traffic at road intersections and parking lot entrances, will set-up road signs and event equipment, and will transport University and event guests. The training program for traffic direction consists of a beginning video session and approximately ten hours of supervised training. The training program also includes disabled shuttle training.

Level Three

Parking safety/dispatch, security, crowd control, and office assistance:
$11.50/hour
Parking Assistants at level three patrol the campus, work as security and crowd control for on-campus events, and assist in the office. Parking Assistants at this level also help in the hiring process, as well as, train employees. Some Parking Assistants may help coordinate office programs. Training for this level includes a six-week self defense course and instruction in program procedures.

If you have a good background in customer service, a job history that can be verified by your past employers, and are available to work variable hours, we may contact you for an interview.

Sincerely,

Ron M. Fleming
Manager, Field Services Parking
