Job Summary:

The Parking Enforcement Attendant is a key member of the Parking team at Copper Mountain, responsible for ensuring guests comply with paid parking policies in designated areas—especially in the Village. Your primary responsibility is to monitor paid parking zones and issue citations to vehicles that have not paid or are parked in violation of resort regulations. This enforcement function is essential to maintaining fairness, optimizing parking capacity, and ensuring a smooth, well-organized guest experience.

In addition to enforcement duties, you will support Parking Attendants with traffic control, assist with snow removal, answer guest questions, and help maintain safe and clean base areas. As a visible representative of Copper Mountain, your professionalism and guest service mindset contribute directly to the resort’s first and last impression on visitors.

Snow removal responsibilities include the use of hand tools such as shovels and ice scrapers, often in high-traffic areas like walkways, signage zones, and entrances. You must also be capable of lifting up to 50 lbs regularly as part of your daily duties.

You will need to maintain a working knowledge of resort weather conditions, snow reports, base area locations, and special events to assist guests and respond effectively to operational needs.

Please be advised that Copper Mountain is a dynamic resort environment where schedules may change quickly due to weather conditions or guest traffic. You must be flexible and willing to work weekends, holidays, long hours, and overtime at a moment’s notice.
