Cedar Fair is hiring 35,000 seasonal employees this year, with the biggest recruitment event in the company’s history taking place from 18 February to 24 February.
The company expects to fill up to 80 percent of these roles, 28,000 jobs, during the week-long hiring event at its theme parks in the US and Canada.
Cedar Fair is looking for ride operators, food and beverage staff, lifeguards and aquatics employees, security workers and more.
“Our seasonal associates play an important role in our mission of delivering amazing experiences to all of our guests,” said Tim Fisher, Cedar Fair‘s chief operating officer.
“We’re proud to offer highly competitive wages and amazing perks, and a seasonal job at one of our parks can offer so much more than other workplaces.
“You can gain valuable experience, develop marketable skills for the future, and make new friends in a fun and unique environment while being part of something truly special.
“Our parks offer a job that’s fun for everyone, with a variety of shifts to meet the needs of those interested in full-time, part-time, seasonal and occasional work hours.”
Cedar Fair is launching several new attractions and experiences at its parks this year. These include new themed areas at Carowinds in North Carolina and Cedar Point in Ohio, as well as major upgrades at Knott’s Berry Farm in California.
